On October 28, 2026, Lynette Howell Taylor, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, stated that the Academy Awards "always" reward works that are human-led and embody human creativity. She noted that AI can be used in auxiliary roles such as visual effects and post-production, but the core must be a "human-driven workflow."

Academy President: AI Is Just a Tool; Only Human-Led Works Can Win Awards
Lynette Howell Taylor, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, made it clear that even as AI becomes deeply integrated into the filmmaking process, the Oscars will "always" reward works that are human-led and embody human creativity, and that the core of a work must be a "human-driven workflow." She pointed out that copyright, transparency, and disclosure are issues the Academy must confront when formulating AI-related rules. The new rules for the 99th Oscars also allow non-English-language films that have won designated awards such as the Berlin Golden Bear, the Cannes Palme d'Or, and the Venice Golden Lion to directly qualify for consideration for the International Feature Film Award without relying on official submission by their home countries.
