The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in movies is growing quickly, and now filmmakers who want their films to be considered for Oscars must share how they used it. Recently, two Oscar-nominated films, The Brutalist and Emilia Perez, have sparked debates about whether using AI in movies is fair.
The Brutalist received a lot of criticism when it was revealed that AI helped enhance performances of actors Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones. Director Brady Corbet defended the movie, saying AI was only used a little and that the actors actually practiced with a Hungarian coach. He also mentioned that the building sketches were hand-drawn.
In Emilia Perez, director Jacques Audiard used AI to clone the voices of the actors. Other films aiming for Oscars, like A Complete Unknown and Dune: Part 2, have also used AI in their production.
According to a report by Variety, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the group behind the Oscars) is currently looking into how AI is used in films. They might require filmmakers to share details about AI use by 2026. Right now, there’s an optional form for filmmakers to fill out if they use AI in their films.
