This actress IA could well become the first artificial film star

“We want her to become the next Scarlett Johansson …” Get to know Tilly Norwood.

Is that the future of cinema?

You do not yet know Tilly Norwood, but perhaps it is a pioneer of the 7th art, in its own way.

First creation from the Xicoia artificial talent studio, recently launched as a spin-off of the production company IA Particle6, founded by Eline Van der Velden, Tilly Norwood is an actress entirely generated by IA. A viritual star, which we are told to play everything. And his “talent” already arouses a certain interest …

During the Zurich Film Festival, Eline Van der Velden revealed (via Deadline) that several Hollywood agents court in Tilly Norwood. According to her, the studios are advancing discreetly on projects related to artificial intelligence, with several announcements expected in the coming months. “In February, we were told: it does not exist, it will not change anything. Then in May, the same people answered us: it is absolutely necessary that we do something with you … When we launched Tilly, people wondered: what is that? And in the coming months, we will announce which agency will represent it.”

An additional step towards the establishment of artificial intelligence in Hollywood. And things are going quickly. In July, Norwood revealed on her Facebook page that she had won her first role, in an actor in Sketch entitled Ai Commissioner.

“We want Tilly to become the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman, this is the objective of our approach,” Van der Velden told Vanden on Broadcast International, explaining that economic difficulties pushed the film and television industry to AI.

“People realize that their creativity does not need to be locked in a budget. There is no creative constraint, and that’s why AI can be a positive force. Everything is a question of look.”

Inevitably, this kind of ad has something to panic the industry. Or lovers of the 7th art.

“Shame on these people“reacted actress Mara Wilson (MRS. Doubtfire,, Matilda) on Instagram. “They stole the faces of hundreds of young women to create this so-called actress IA. They are not creators. They are identity thieves.” Actress Abigail Breslin, appointed to the Oscars (Little Miss Sunshine,, Zombieland), for its part launched a call to his colleagues: “I beg every actor that I know to boycott it “, She wrote by sharing Deadline’s article. “”If your agency tries to sign with an AI actress, you should leave it. It is a huge finger of honor to our whole profession. And then … it is no coincidence that she is an ‘actress ia woman’. It’s just a new way for men to control and tell the female experience. It’s disgusting. #canceltillynorwood! “

Faced with this shield raising and those who are worried about seeing a computer generated by computer, Van der Velden responds on the networks:

“Tilly Norwood is not there to replace a human being. She is a creative work, a play of art. Like many artistic forms before her, she arouses conversations – and it already proves the power of creativity. I see AI not as a substitute, but as a new tool – an additional brush. Animation, puppet or special effects have already opened up to the real game. way of imagining and telling stories.
