The digital actress has been named Tilly Norwood
The unveiling of the world’s first artificial intelligence (AI) actress at the Zurich Film Festival has sparked a new debate in Hollywood.
The presentation of this digital actress, named Tilly Norwood, has led to a variety of reactions both inside and outside the film industry.
It should be noted that the project of the new AI talent studio Zikoya, which introduced this new AI actress, was initially met with a lot of skepticism, but interest in it soon grew. This is confirmed by the fact that several talent agents are now showing interest in signing this digital actress.
Tilly Norwood’s creator, actress and producer Elaine van der Velden has issued a clarifying statement on Instagram regarding this controversy. He stressed that the character is not a replacement for humans, but a creative work and a new form of art.
He gave examples of AI technology with creative techniques such as animation, puppetry and CGI, making it clear that nothing can take away the joy and passion of human acting.
Tilly Norwood has already become active on social media and has also announced her casting in her first comedy drama, ‘AI Commissioner’. However, several Hollywood celebrities have reacted strongly to the arrival of the AI actress, while the acting community has also expressed concern over the move.
