The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has formally barred AI-generated performances and AI-authored screenplays from Oscar eligibility starting with the 99th ceremony in 2027, requiring that nominated work be "demonstrably performed by humans" and "human-authored." The rule follows the Cannes Film Festival's similar ban and builds on guild contract provisions from 2023, but leaves significant enforcement questions unanswered while raising concerns about accessibility for independent filmmakers who rely on AI tools to compete with studio budgets.
