It can be the future Scarlett Johansson. She is Tilly Norwood, an actress completely generated by AI by the Xicoia study. During the Zurich Film Festival, Eline Van Der Velden, actress and producer of the Xicoia agency and the study specialized in the productions generated by AI, Particile6, said that his “protected” would have already caught the attention of several talented agencies, according to Variety.
“We were present in many meeting rooms in February, and they all said: ‘No, it’s nothing. It won’t happen.’ Then, in May, people said:” We have to do something with you, “said Eline Van Der Velden, with a deadline.
An additional step towards the establishment of artificial intelligence in Hollywood. And things go quickly. As proof, Tilly Norwood has already won its first role in AI Comissioner, the film is, as its name allows, assume, generated completely by AI and is produced by particle6.
He “imagines a future where the formats are written, where actors and automatic learning models are generated make creative decisions,” explains Eline Van der Velden on Instagram, before adding. “Yes, it’s a parody. Yes, it’s strangely close to reality.”
“We want Tilly to be the next Scarlett Johansson”
And her study has great projects for her. “We want Tilly to be the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman, this is the purpose of what we do,” says Eline Van Der Velden on Broadcast International. Once Tilly is installed in the media landscape, Xicia plans to develop more than 40 AI actors.
For this, the study is based on Deepfame, an engine of avatars personalities. Unlike static avatars, Xicoia’s characters are endowed with a story, different voices, evolutionary narrative arches and totally assertive personalities. They can initiate improvised conversations, improvise monologues and adapt their tone according to the context.
According to the producer, economic problems push the audiovisual industry towards AI -based production. For example, the company claims to work with “several Hollywood stars” that wish to be rejuvenated thanks to AI. I would also collaborate with the beneficiaries to “bring legendary artists on the big screen.” She expects, on the way, to interest cinematographic and television productions, as well as podcasts, social networks, brand campaigns or video games.
Cinema and AI, a complicated story
So many ads far from pleased the entire seventh art industry. As reported for the first time, on social networks, several actors did not stop increasing their tone. “They stole the faces of hundreds of young women to create this so -called actress. They are not creators. They are identity thieves,” said actress Mara Wilson (LADY. Doubtfire, Matilda).
“I pray to each actor who knows to be boycotting it,” writes Abigail Breslin, (Little Miss Sunshine, Zombieland). “If your agency tries to sign with an AI actress, you must leave it. It is a great finger of honor for our entire profession.”
The use of AI in the film industry is still controversial. Already in 2023, the unions of several actors had been carried out on Hollywood to obtain guarantees on the use of artificial intelligence (AI), to avoid the generation of scripts, the cloning of the voice or the image of the professionals of the seventh art.
At the same time, several companies, however, try to make an incursion in Hollywood. This is the case of Openai. Sam Altman’s start-up, for example, has given his computer tools and resources to create an animated film. For its part, the Showrunner platform, compatible with Amazon, aims to rebuild the 43 minutes destroyed by The splendor of Amberson.
