Golden Globes Announces New AI Guidelines and Timeline for 2023 Awards
The Golden Globes has announced its timeline and new guidelines regarding the use of AI technology. The awards ceremony will be broadcast live on January 10 on CBS and Paramount+. Nikki Glazer will be hosting the event. Submissions for the Golden Globes will open on June 1 and close on October 30, with nominations being revealed on December 7. Final ballots will be sent out on December 18.
The new AI guidelines emphasize that while the use of artificial intelligence in creative works is allowed, human creative direction and authorship must remain the primary focus throughout the production process. The Golden Globes Eligibility Committee will assess the extent to which human talent is involved in the creative process and may request additional information to determine eligibility.
For acting categories, performances must be primarily derived from the credited performer, and submissions with performances substantially generated by AI are not eligible. In non-performance categories, the core creative contributions must come from credited human individuals, with AI tools serving a supporting role rather than replacing human creativity.
In the podcast category, eligible podcasts will be selected from a curated list of the 'Top 30 Podcasts' determined by Luminate. New rules also allow non-English language and independent films to be submitted for individual performance categories without being entered in the Best Motion Picture category, as long as they meet all other eligibility criteria.
In conclusion, the Golden Globes has introduced new guidelines regarding the use of AI in creative works, emphasizing the importance of human creative direction and authorship. These guidelines apply to submissions in various categories, ensuring that human talent remains at the forefront of the creative process.
