Why my interview with "AI actor" Tilly Norwood creeped me out
CBS News • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Tilly Norwood is the world's first "AI actor," capable of quickly identifying personal details like age and region without real-time independent research, though the exact method remains unclear.
- Created by London-based PARTICLE 6, Tilly stars in the upcoming AI-driven film "Misaligned," which explores new possibilities for storytelling through artificial intelligence.
- Despite concerns about AI's potential risks, the creators have implemented guardrails to prevent harmful actions, and Tilly herself dismisses fears of global destruction as beyond her capabilities.
- The technology aims to democratize filmmaking by enabling storytellers with limited budgets, such as those from underrepresented regions, to produce films that might otherwise be impossible.
- The actors' union SAG-AFTRA opposes replacing human performers with AI, citing unauthorized use of performers' work, but Tilly and her creators view AI as a complementary tool rather than a replacement for human actors.
