Academy Awards organisers issued new rules on ​Friday to clarify that acting and writing must be performed by humans and not artificial intelligence ​to be ‌eligible for Oscars. The new rules also include changes to the international film category, expanding eligibility to include films that won top awards from prestigious festivals like Cannes, Venice and Toronto.

I wonder how this will affect stunt work, as studios are using AI more and more frequently to deepfake the actor's face onto the stuntman's performance. While it's still like 98% human performance on-screen, that 2% - the face - is really important for it to be replaced with AI-generated material.

The article only calls out the "Acting" and "Writing" categories, and the language suggests they are mainly concerned with a human doing the actual substantive work. So in this case, stunt work that is duly credited will probably still be eligible, even if they alter it as you suggest. The whole point of stunt work is to have a stand-in do it, but have it look like the main character in the final product.

Even before AI ate everything, a lot of visual effects have been created with CGI, and they still gave out Oscars for visual effects.
