"When we first launched Tilly, people were like, 'What's that?'"
"And now we're going to be announcing which agency is going to be representing her in the next few months."
Tilly Norwood is an AI "actress" created by Swedish actor and comedian Eline Van der Velden through Xicoia, a spinoff of Particle6. The creation prompted horror among actors and moviegoers while Hollywood agents began circling to sign the synthetic performer. The AI presents as a forever-young, compliant woman programmed to follow directions without pushback, raising concerns about replacing investment in real women with voices, talent, and agency. The project has provoked comparisons to deceptive tech visions and drawn attention from industry leaders, with SAG-AFTRA president Sean Astin calling the backlash justified and signalling ongoing battles ahead.
