The Edge: AI actress Tilly Norwood stirs up trouble in Hollywood

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Hollywood stars are raising concerns over a new AI-generated actress known as Tilly Norwood. They are worried that Norwood could replace them. Unveiled this weekend at the Zurich Film Festival, Norwood has been touted as the next Scarlett Johansson. Studios are apparently clamoring to work with her. And a talent agency has already lined up to represent her.

Norwood has starred in an AI-generated comedy sketch called AI Commissioner. She took to Facebook on the day it was released and wrote, “I may be AI-generated, but I’m feeling very real emotions right now.”

Will AI replace real actors and actresses?
