Overview

• Particle6’s AI unit Xicoia and producer Eline van der Velden created Tilly Norwood, a fully AI‑generated performer with a distinct appearance and voice.
• The persona debuted in an all‑AI Particle6TV sketch titled AI Commissioner and was formally introduced at a Zurich Film Festival event.
• SAG‑AFTRA issued a statement opposing synthetic replacements for performers, with UK Equity expressing similar objections and raising concerns over consent.
• Van der Velden said the project is an artistic experiment rather than a substitute for human actors and urged the industry to view AI as another creative tool.
• The team reports interest from agents and producers, while Tilly’s Instagram nears 50,000 followers and promotes her as ready for major screen roles.
