This decision reflects the increasing influence of AI, which caused the strikes of actors and screenwriters in 2023 due to the fear that technology can replace the work of technology. Productive AI, which can create text, image or sound, has already been used in films such as BRTalist, where AI helps to adjust the emphasis of the actor. The Academy emphasizes that the awards will be given for human contribution, not for the fact that AI is implemented.
In addition to artificial intelligence, the new rules require the Academy members to watch all candidate films in the category before the final vote and eliminate the application of “voting with mood”. Criteria for international films are now updated, including managers with refugee status.
Oscar 2026 will be held on March 15.
