Creator defends AI 'actor' Tilly Norwood after feature film backlash<br /><br />The founder of the studio behind artificial intelligence (AI) "actor" Tilly Norwood has defended the character amid backlash from parts of the entertainment industry, saying she aims to spark debate and showcase possibilities rather than replace human performers. Criticism intensified after Particle6 announced earlier this month that Norwood would lead a feature film, "Misaligned." Set in a digital realm called the "Tillyverse," the comedy-drama follows an AI being "with no real body, no childhood and no lived experience." The project is in early development; Particle6's tools can currently only generate up to 30 seconds of video, but van der Velden said she hopes to complete the film within 12 months. She disputed critics’ claims that her work will reduce opportunities for real actors. <br /><br />REUTERS | PARTICLE6 / SAG-AFTRA WEBSITE<br /><br />Check out our Streaming Channel: https://streaming.manilatimes.net/<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe<br /><br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net<br /><br />Follow us:<br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook<br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram<br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter<br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion<br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital<br /><br />Check out our Podcasts:<br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify<br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts<br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic<br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /><br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#WorldNews
