Updated “Golden Globe” rules for the use of artificial intelligence

The Golden Globe award organizers have amended the regulations concerning the application of AI in works submitted to the competition program. The main rule remains unchanged: a person must remain the primary author and creative director.

1. General principles
* A work is not disqualified if AI is used as an auxiliary tool.

* The criterion is *prevalence of human contribution*: artistic decisions, authorship, and creative direction must come from people listed in the credits.

* For any submission, the Compliance Committee will verify the role of AI. If necessary, additional information will be requested. Failure to provide data may lead to disqualification.

2. Acting categories
* Works must be based on a real performance by an actor listed in the credits.

* Submissions with substantial AI involvement (e.g., voice or face replacement) are rejected.

* If AI is used only for enhancement or support of the performance and this is agreed with the performer, the submission remains acceptable.

* Works created without the actor’s permission are prohibited: copying an image, voice, biometric data—regardless of whether the performer is credited.

3. Non‑material categories (directing, screenplay, music, animation, etc.)
* In these categories AI may be used as an auxiliary tool.

* The primary creative contribution must come from people listed in the credits.

* Any use of generative technologies must serve to improve the work, not replace human authorship.

In short: “Golden Globe” allows the use of AI only as a supporting element that cannot replace human creative input. In doubtful cases the Committee will request additional information and may disqualify a work for violating the rules.
