Earlier this week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences updated its list of rules for the 98th annual event scheduled for next year. The update includes key clarification on the use of AI in films, namely that the technology’s use won’t disqualify a film from earning an Oscar.

Oscars have announced its key dates, rules for the casting award, a shortlist for cinematography and AI guidelines.

The new rule, announced this week by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, was greeted with laughter and disbelief that it had not been required all along.
