This year, films made with artificial intelligence may receive accolades at the Oscars. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced new rules regarding this, as reported by BBC.

Organizers stated that the use of AI will neither enhance nor diminish a film's chances of nomination. However, human contribution will still be considered when determining winners.

The Academy received recommendations from the Scientific and Technical Council, emphasizing the importance of including AI-assisted films.

Several films that utilized AI for generating text, images, audio, and video have received top honors in March. Notably, the film "Brutalist" earned actor Adrien Brody the award for Best Actor.

Generative AI was employed in the film to improve the actor's accent while speaking Hungarian.

This technology was also used to enhance vocal performances in the musical "Emilia Perez," which won an Oscar.

However, the use of artificial intelligence remains a contentious topic among artists.

According to the updated rules, Academy members must now watch all nominated films in each category to participate in the final voting stage.

The Academy will verify film viewings through its internal streaming platform, Academy Screening Room. If a film was viewed outside this platform, members must submit a form detailing when and where they watched it.

Previously, this process applied only to international, animated, and short film categories, but it will now extend to all nominations.
