American Actors’ Trade Union (SAG-AFTRA) Criticizing it with strong criticism of the iroduction of “Tilly Norwood” as the first actor with artificial ielligence A direct threat to the future of actors Described.
This virtual character is made by the Xicoia Artificial Ielligence Studio, founded by Elaine van der Velden, an actor and producer. Tilly Nourwood was iroduced at the Zurich Film Festival last week and was immediately attracted by social media. At the time of the iroduction, the creator said that several large tale agencies were looking to work with them.
But now the SAG-AFTRA Union has stated in a stateme:
“Tilly Nourwood is not an actor, but a computer that has made a computer program using thousands of professional actors, without permission and fee.”
The union has emphasized that such projects have no “experience and human feeling” and that they are abandoned by real actors and worthless human art. SAG-AFTRA has also warned that any use of artificial actors should be done in accordance with trade coracts.
Creator of the AI artificial actor from his project
In corast, Van in Volden defended his project by posting on Instagram and looking more A creative tool Know:
“I tell those who are angry at the creation of my artificial ielligence personality, Tailey Norwood: He is not a replaceme for humans, but a creative work and a work of art. Just like many forms of previous art, he creates a conversation, and this is a reflection of the power of creativity.
I do not see artificial ielligence as a replaceme for humans, but I consider it a new tool, a new pen. Just as animation, puppetry, or CGI created new features without destroying acting, artificial ielligence offers another way to imagine and build stories. “I myself can destroy the art or the pleasure of human acting.”
However, opposition to this character of artificial ielligence in Hollywood is on the rise. Oscar nominee Emily Blu has called the project “really scary” in response to the image.
Wupper Goldberg also warned in The View:
“The problem is that you compete with something made of 5,000 actors; With the joke of “Humphrey Bogart”, Betty Davis’s attitude and even my sense of humor. This is an unfair advaage. “
The issue of artificial ielligence was previously one of the main focus of the Hollywood star strike in 2023, where artists protested against their image and voice. Now the iroduction of Tilly Nourwood has again revived the same concerns.
