Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley used facial recognition technology to track the amount of time actors appear on screen in more than 2,300 Hollywood films released between 1980 and 2022 .
The study confirmed that, since 2010 , Hollywood films have indeed been getting more diverse, with increasing representation for actors who are women, Black, Hispanic/Latino , East Asian and South Asian .
The study used computer vision to track actors’ appearances on screen, but algorithms were not used to make judgements about race, gender or ethnicity.
The rate at which viewers see women on screen increased from a steady 25% between 1980 to 2010 to around 40% in 2022 .
All groups except white men remain underrepresented in leading roles.
