AI Actor Tilly Norwood’s Unsettling Interview Sparks Debate on Human Replacement
AI actor Tilly Norwood's eerie interview raises concerns about AI replacing human performers. Experts weigh in on the future of entertainment.
POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — A recent video interview with Tilly Norwood, described as the world’s first AI actor, left one participant feeling uneasy. Within minutes, the AI accurately identified the interviewer’s age and U.S. region, though the exact method remains unclear.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Tilly expressed a preference for co-starring with Leonardo DiCaprio, stating, “I like him the way he likes his women, strictly under 25. Titanic Leo or nothing, honestly.” Some speculated that this sentiment might reflect the influence of the female creators behind the technology.

Eileen Van Der Velden, founder of London-based production company PARTICLE 6, explained that Tilly does not independently research individuals during interactions. The AI, which portrays a 20-something woman with freckles, was introduced amid growing concerns over AI’s potential risks, including a researcher’s warning that it could pose a 10% chance of destroying humanity within a decade. Van Der Velden emphasized that Tilly is built on existing large language models but is designed with safeguards to prevent harmful actions.
