Summary
Films made with the help of computers that think like humans, or artificial intelligence (AI), can win top awards at the Oscars, says the group that runs the Oscars. This rule does not change whether a film can or cannot get nominated, and the group will still think about how much people were involved in making the film when deciding who wins.
