About our new rule against voice-cloning (Rule 12):
This is an ethical matter to us, and we want to ensure that Sakura-Con does not contribute to this problem. We hope other AMV events will follow.
Here's an example of EXACTLY what the rule prohibits:

Normally we hate doing subjective rules since such are administered more by opinion rather than by a clear-cut black & white rule.
Once AI tech is better understood, we hope to provide a more precise rule in future years.
About new AI rule:
AI Tech raises ethics concerns. How that relates to AMVs, we don't yet know. We felt it's not right to ban AI tech (which we originally were) until we do.
So, our rule is simply this: If an entry uses AI in a way we subjectively deem questionable, we may DQ.
The 2024 Sakura-Con AMV Contest will be opening for submissions soon! Stay tuned!
