AI performances and screenplays won't be eligible for Oscars AI performances and screenplays won't be eligible for Oscars Sorry, Val Kilmer fans, but the late actor's Oscar ship has officially sailed. On Friday, reported that AI-generated acting and writing won't be eligible for Academy Awards. The new rules from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will take effect beginning with next year's presentation, scheduled for March 2027. The Academy's updated rules state that while filmmakers can use AI tools, synthetic performers can't win any awards. Ditto for AI-written screenplays, which must be human-authored.

Musk, who co-founded the company that created ChatGPT with Altman, wants more than $130 billion in damages in a lawsuit that could shakeup the artificial intelligence landscape. The BBC's Lily Jamali explains why the two tech giants are facing off in court. How much screen time is too much for under fives? Some major retailers and independent stores have introduced AI body scans, CCTV or facial recognition equipment to identify crimes like shoplifting. What does TikTok's deal mean for America's users?

Although actor-critic methods have been successful in practice, their theoretical analyses have several limitations. Specifically, existing theoretical work either sidesteps the exploration problem by making strong assumptions or analyzes impractical methods with complicated algorithmic modifications. Moreover, the actor-critic methods analyzed for linear MDPs often employ natural policy gradient and construct "implicit" policies without explicit parameterization. Such policies are computationally expensive to sample from, making the environment interactions inefficient. To that end, we focus on the finite-horizon linear MDPs and propose an optimistic actor-critic framework that uses parametric log-linear policies. In particular, we introduce a tractable $\textit{logit-matching}$ regression objective for the actor. For the critic, we use approximate Thompson sampling via Langevin Monte Carlo to obtain optimistic value estimates. We prove that the resulting algorithm achieves $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(ε^{-4})$ and $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(ε^{-2})$ sample complexity in the on-policy and off-policy setting, respectively. Our results match prior theoretical work in achieving the state-of-the-art sample complexity, while our algorithm is more aligned with practice.

Humour and science fiction may not seem obvious bedfellows but a history of cinema will tell you different. Think Spaceballs, Mars Attacks! and Everything Everwhere All At Once to name but a few. And now Ryan Gosling is hopping on board. The 45-year-old is both the lead actor and producer of Project Hail Mary, a space adventure film based on the 2021 Andy Weir novel of the same name. While Gosling has showcased his comedy chops in films such as Barbie and Nice Guys, he tells the BBC he's always struggled as an actor because I would want to bring humour to something but has found opportunities to be funny limited with some projects.
