The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has officially declared that AI-generated performances and screenplays will not be eligible for Oscars, effective from the 2027 ceremony. This decision comes amid growing concerns about the role of artificial intelligence in filmmaking. While filmmakers are allowed to use AI tools, the Academy mandates that all award submissions must be authored by humans. This ruling has sparked discussions around the ethical implications of AI in the industry, particularly highlighted by the upcoming indie film 'As Deep as the Grave,' which features a fully AI-generated performance by the late actor Val Kilmer. Although Kilmer was unable to participate due to health issues before his death in April 2025, his family supported the film's continuation, emphasizing its importance. Additionally, a recent viral clip generated by ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 tool, showcasing a fictional fight between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, has raised alarms in Hollywood, leading to a pause in the tool's rollout as the industry grapples with the potential of AI to create convincing cinematic content.
