== Key AI Provisions ==<br />
Academy CEO Bill Kramer and president Lynette Howell Taylor emphasized that "humans have to be at the center of the creative process."<ref name="ap-oscars" /> The new rules establish:<br />
<br />
'''Screenplays''': "Screenplays must be human-authored to be eligible." AI-generated or AI-assisted screenplays are ineligible for writing awards.<ref name="ap-oscars" /><br />
<br />
'''Performances''': Only roles "demonstrably performed by humans with their consent" will be considered for acting awards. AI-generated or AI-rendered performances are not eligible.<ref name="ap-oscars" /><br />
<br />
'''General principle''': The Academy stated that AI tools "neither help nor harm the chances of achieving a nomination" and that each branch "will judge the achievement, taking into account the degree to which a human was at the heart of the creative authorship." The Academy reserves the right to request additional information about the nature and extent of AI use.<ref name="ap-oscars" /><br />
<br />
== Industry Context ==<br />
The Academy did not comment on whether the upcoming AI-rendered Val Kilmer performance would be eligible, noting the filmmakers had not yet submitted it for consideration. Kramer said AI eligibility would be reviewed "on a case-by-case basis" and reassessed annually as the technology evolves.<ref name="ap-oscars" /><br />
<br />
The rules represent the first major industry awards body to establish formal AI disclosure and eligibility standards, joining a growing trend of industry self-regulation in response to generative AI's impact on creative professions.<br />
