Overview

  • Particle6’s Xicoia studio, led by Eline Van der Velden, introduced Tilly Norwood as a fully AI‑generated actress during discussions around the Zurich Summit.
  • Hollywood talent agencies are in conversations to represent Tilly, according to Deadline, and Van der Velden says a representation announcement is planned in the coming months.
  • Tilly features a crafted persona and voice powered by a DeepFame engine and is already active on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
  • Particle6 frames Tilly as studio‑owned intellectual property, a model that avoids traditional royalties and union membership and promises flexible, always‑available talent.
  • The debut has sharpened attention on legal and labor gaps since 2023 agreements limited some AI uses but did not ban synthetic performers, as insiders report major studios are exploring similar projects under confidentiality.
