Hollywood Union Says AIGenerated Tilly Norwood ‘Not an Actor’

"Screen actors and their union are among those who on Tuesday condemned a computer-generated “actress” created by a newly launched artificial intelligence studio as “not a replacement for a human being,” while urging talent agencies to eschew signing synthetic performers.

Billed as Hollywood’s first artificial intelligence actor, “Tilly Norwood” was introduced by Particle 6 founder and CEO Eline Van der Velden, who has launjched a new venture called Xicoia, the “world’s first AI talent studio.”

One of over 40 digital personalities Xicoia says it aims to develop, Norwood has attracted the attention of real-life talent agents—a development that has drawn condemnation from the powerful Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) union, which represents more than 160,000 performers in film, television, voice acting, video games, and other media.

“SAG-AFTRA believes creativity is, and should remain, human-centered,” the union said in a statement Tuesday, adding that it is “opposed to the replacement of human performers by synthetics.”"
