AI-generated actors and scripts are now ineligible for Oscars

AI 生成的演员和剧本现已失去奥斯卡奖评选资格

The organization behind the Academy Awards released new Oscar rules on Friday, including several that address the use of generative artificial intelligence. 奥斯卡金像奖的主办机构于周五发布了新的评选规则，其中包括多项针对生成式人工智能使用的规定。

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said that only performances “credited in the film’s legal billing and demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” will be eligible for Academy Awards. 美国电影艺术与科学学院表示，只有“在电影法律署名中获得认可，且经证实由人类在知情同意下完成”的表演，才有资格角逐奥斯卡奖。

Similarly, the academy said that screenplays must be “human-authored” to be eligible. The academy also said it has the right to request more information about a film’s AI usage and “human authorship.” 同样，学院规定剧本必须是“人类创作”的才有资格参评。学院还表示，有权要求电影制作方提供关于其 AI 使用情况及“人类创作成分”的更多信息。

These rule changes come as an independent film is in the works with an AI-generated version of Val Kilmer, as AI “actress” Tilly Norwood keeps making headlines, and as new video models are causing at least a few filmmakers to make sweeping declarations of despair. 这些规则的变更正值多项相关事件之际：一部由 AI 生成的方·基默（Val Kilmer）形象出演的独立电影正在制作中；AI“女演员”蒂莉·诺伍德（Tilly Norwood）频频登上头条；同时，新的视频模型也让不少电影制作人发出了绝望的感叹。

AI was also one of the main sticking points in the actors’ and writers’ strikes back in 2023. Outside Hollywood, at least one novel has been pulled by its publisher due to the apparent use of AI, and other writers’ groups are declaring that AI usage makes work ineligible for awards. AI 也是 2023 年演员和编剧罢工事件中的主要争议焦点之一。在好莱坞之外，至少有一部小说因明显使用了 AI 而被出版商下架，其他作家团体也纷纷宣布，使用 AI 的作品将失去评奖资格。
