"The union added: To be clear, Tilly Norwood' is not an actor, it's a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers without permission or compensation It doesn't solve any problem' it creates the problem of using stolen performances to put actors out of work, jeopardising performer livelihoods and devaluing human artistry."
"I see AI not as a replacement for people, but as a new tool a new paintbrush. Just as animation, puppetry, or CGI opened fresh possibilities without taking away from live acting, AI offers another way to imagine and build stories. Van Der Velden added: Creating Tilly has been, for me, an act of imagination and craftsmanship, not unlike drawing a character, writing a role or shaping a performance. It takes time, skill and iteration to bring such a character to life."
Sag-Aftra condemned the creation of the AI-generated performer Tilly Norwood and said the character was trained on countless professional performers without permission or compensation. The union opposed replacement of human performers by synthetics and said using stolen performances jeopardises livelihoods and devalues human artistry. Xicoia and Particle6 released a short film, AI Commissioner, that Particle6's CEO Eline Van Der Velden said was 100% AI generated and defended AI as a new tool akin to animation or CGI. Several actors including Melissa Barrera, Mara Wilson, Ralph Ineson and Emily Blunt voiced immediate backlash and alarm about the implications for actors and agencies.
