The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced significant rule changes for the 99th Academy Awards, set for 2027. Key among these changes is the requirement that screenplays must be written by humans, explicitly excluding chatbots, and that acting performances must be demonstrably performed by humans with their consent. Indian screenwriter Juhi Chaturvedi, known for films like Madras Cafe (2013) and Piku (2015), expressed support for the decision, stating that writing is deeply rooted in human experience and emotions. She believes that AI lacks the lived experiences necessary for authentic storytelling. On the other hand, screenwriter Niren Bhatt, known for Munjya (2024) and Stree 2 (2024), questioned the need for such rules at this stage, arguing that AI is currently just a tool and not effective in creative writing. He suggested that AI-generated content often lacks originality and depth, making it easy for industry professionals to identify. Both screenwriters highlight the ongoing debate about AI's role in creative fields.
