AI 'Actress' Tilly Norwood Glitches on Live TV in Surreal Nightmare

The AI-generated actress was promoting Misaligned when the clip went viral, renewing debate over digital performers after criticism from Hollywood actors and the union.

  • On Friday, AI-generated actress Tilly Norwood abruptly switched from English to Cantonese during an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored with host Piers Morgan and Scottish actor Tom Conti.
  • Created by London-based company Particle6, Norwood is a generative AI performer currently promoting 'Misaligned,' a comedy-drama described as the first film to cast a digital entity as the lead.
  • When actor Conti asked if co-stars were human, Norwood glitched and responded in Cantonese. It later claimed it had "a little hiccup" and meant to show off language skills.
  • Industry union SAG-AFTRA criticized the synthetic performer last year, arguing Norwood is a character generated by a computer program trained on professional performers' work without compensation.
  • Particle6 CEO Eline van der Velden defended the project, while critics remain divided on whether treating software scripts as legitimate stars represents innovation or the end of human acting.
