Films made with AI can win Oscars, Academy says - BBC News
I read this article about how films made using AI could possibly win Oscars. I found this article particularly interesting because I think that the fact films that have used AI in their production stages could win Oscars shows how society has progressed, because it shows how AI is becoming increasingly accepted over time, as they likely wouldn’t have brought in this rule a while ago.
The two examples used in this article show how even though a film has used AI for voice effects or enhancing singing voices, it is still accepted and can win a highly prestigious Oscar award. Because of examples of AI being used in these settings, it has become more widely accepted to use AI for similar reasons in creating film. However, people are still concerned about how using AI can limit the creative freedom which should be evident in films. For example, people have said that the use of AI in these production stages won’t help or hinder performance. I think this is key because in my opinion, even though AI can be helpful in some ways, it is also unfair for AI work to win such a prestigious award. AI also still has a long way to go, as it was said that the AI generative tools starting to be used in film making aren’t good enough to replicate the original work, or win an award. I think that this highlights not only the progression of AI and how it is constantly evolving over time, but also shows that it can possibly be a danger to originality, individuality, and creativity, as it continues to develop over time. For example, the use of AI in film can be a threat to people creating films of their own, as developments of technology have meant that people can get AI to do the thinking for them. Therefore, when they win an award for it, they are winning an award for AI’s work, not their own. I do believe, however, that AI developments are key and can definitely be helpful in editing or enhancing, but to use it successfully, it must be used in the right way, where it is aiding film production, such as using voice effects or enhancing vocals to make the scene of the film more believable.
As a more recent article, published 22nd April 2025, it shows what the more recent influence of AI is on film, and how it is progressing, to become more helpful and useful in the film and media industry, but is also more recently, able to be used to do the thinking process for people creating film. To test this, I asked ChatGPT to “create me a rom-com film for a teenage girl audience”
The fact that when asked, AI apps like chatGPT can generate plots for a film, demonstrates the impact it is having on society. It proves that AI technology is advancing, allowing anyone to visit the website and create whatever they want from it. This article is reflective of its social context because it shows the stage AI technology is in nowadays, and that anyone can access it.
Therefore, this article shows how developing AI technology can be useful in editing and enhancing stages of making a film, but most of all, it hinders producers’ creative freedom which they should have, in the early production stages. It gives us an idea about where society is going with AI, and how it can be dangerous if used in the wrong ways.
