(CNA Los Angeles 7th Comprehensive Foreign Report) Following the Academy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, which kick off Hollywood's awards season annually, announced new guidelines today: performances primarily generated or created by artificial intelligence (AI) will not be eligible for nominations, but AI-enhanced performances are not excluded, as long as the performance is still primarily human.
The Golden Globes organizers stated that any performance that is primarily generated or created by AI will not be eligible for nomination.
However, if a performance is merely "technically or cosmetically enhanced by AI, such as making an actor younger, older, or modifying their appearance, and the performance is still primarily carried out by a named individual, with AI not replacing or significantly altering their performance," it will not lose its nomination eligibility.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which awards the Oscars, announced new rules on the 1st to combat AI use, requiring that only genuine human performers and scripts written by humans are eligible to contend for Hollywood's highest honor, not AI-created actor avatars or chatbot works.
AI use remains one of the most sensitive issues in the film and television industry and was a core factor in the 2023 Hollywood actors' and writers' strikes, which halted productions. Strikers warned that if this technology went unchecked, it would threaten their livelihoods.
These recent restrictions come after a trailer for an upcoming Hollywood archaeological action film, "As Deep as the Grave," was shown to theaters, featuring AI technology used to make actor Val Kilmer, who was gravely ill during filming and later passed away, appear younger in his performance.
