With regard to Generative Artificial Intelligence and other digital tools used in the making of the film, the tools neither help nor harm the chances of achieving a nomination. The Academy and each branch will judge the achievement, taking into account the degree to which a human was at the heart of the creative authorship when choosing which movie to award.

Why would they change? The AI tools in movie industry have been doing miracles for decades. Especially when it comes to tracking and replacing things in footage, which jumpstarted the new era of CGI. OP, do you also want to ban movies like Avatar?

Yes! The CG on Avatar took away jobs from real Navi that could have played the part. But they had to get them to look exactly like the human actors. Pathetic.

I was talking about CGI. Video editors and special effects, not actors. The editing part. You know - software?
