I like that the typically lazy Academy is starting to police itself. Artificial intelligence can be a danger if not kept in check. So I agree with the new requirements about human performance. Here’s the language: “Only roles credited in the film’s legal billing and demonstrably performed by humans with their consent will be eligible.”
