Her latest comments come in the wake of unease following the unveiling of “AI actor”, Tilly Norwood. <\/p>\n

Norwood was created by Dutch actor and comedian Eline Van der Velden, who reportedly said she wanted Norwood to become the “next Scarlett Johansson”.<\/p>\n

In a statement, SAG-Aftra said Norwood “is not an actor, it’s a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers.<\/p>\n

“It has no life experience to draw from, no emotion and, from what we’ve seen, audiences aren’t interested in watching computer-generated content untethered from the human experience,” the union added.<\/p>\n

Actress Emily Blunt also recently said she found the idea of Norwood terrifying.<\/p>\n

“That is really, really scary, Come on, agencies, don’t do that. Please stop. Please stop taking away our human connection,” she said on a podcast with Variety.<\/p>\n

Van der Velden later said in a statement, external<\/a>: “To those who have expressed anger over the creation of my AI character, Tilly Norwood, she is not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work \u2013 a piece of art. <\/p>\n

“Like many forms of art before her, she sparks conversation, and that in itself shows the power of creativity.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Her latest comments come in the wake of unease following the unveiling of “AI actor”, Tilly Norwood.
