29 Sep - Despite Writers Guild Association and SAG-AFTRA's previous concerns about the misuse of AI, it looks like talent agents have been secretly looking to secure a new talent; the AI actress Tilly Norwood.

Tilly Norwood, the first creation of AI talent studio Xicoia owned by Eline Van der Velden's AI production studio Particle6, was revealed to have attracted a lot of attention from multiple such agencies, with studios quietly moving with AIO projects.

"We were in a lot of boardrooms around February time, and everyone was like, 'No, this is nothing. It's not going to happen.' Then, by May, people were like, 'We need to do something with you guys,'" said Van der Velden, who was being interviewed at the Zurich Film Festival.

"When we first launched Tilly, people were like, 'What's that?' and now we're going to be announcing which agency is going to be representing her in the next few months."

Van der Velden also stated that they want Tilly to be "the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman".

AI actress Tilly Norwood first appeared on social media back in July, and shared, "Can't believe it... my first ever role is live! I star in 'AI Commissioner,' a new comedy sketch that playfully explores the future of TV development produced by the brilliant team at Particle6 Productions."

She added, "I may be AI generated, but I'm feeling very real emotions right now. I am so excited for what's coming next!"
