AI has been a consistent concern in many creative spheres, but no sector has been quite so actively critical as the film industry. Despite recent SAG-AFTRA strikes and petitions calling for the regulation of AI technology, the Academy has confirmed that AI will not affect future Oscar nominees. Essentially, AI filmmaking is here to stay.

Films made with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) will be able to win top awards at the Oscars, according to its organisers. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences issued new rules on Monday which said the use of AI and other digital tools would "neither help nor harm the chances of achieving a nomination".

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