Tilly Norwood

Tilly Norwood is an artificial intelligence "actress." Norwood was made by Xicoia, the AI part of the production company Particle6. In July 2025, Particle6 said that they wanted Norwood to be the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman.

Background
Norwood was announced in 2025. Many responses to Norwood have been negative. The SAG-AFTRA said that they believe that "creativity is, and should remain, human-centered."

In July 2025, Norwood's Facebook page announced that she had starred in AI Commissioner, a comedy sketch made with ten pieces of AI software and written by ChatGPT. Within two months, AI Commissioner had been watched 200,000 times. By September, Norwood had been added into videos showing her on a red carpet, crying on the The Graham Norton Show sofa, and starring in fake movie trailers for sci-fi, fantasy, horror and action movies. 

Her looks have been compared to Gal Gadot, Ana de Armas, and Vanessa Hudgens during her High School Musical years.

An Instagram account under Norwood's name, with posts dating back to May 6, 2025, had gained 36,000 followers by September 30.

Response
Many actresses and actors were not happy about Norwood. Emily Blunt said that she was "really, really scary", while Sophie Turner, Toni Collette, and Ralph Ineson also said they were not happy. Whoopi Goldberg, however, said she did not believe AI could replace actors in Hollywood.

After Norwood became public and received negative comments, Particle6 said that Norwood was "not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work."

Fast Company wrote that Norwood's English Wikipedia talk page had users arguing as to whether to call her an actress or to use the she pronoun. He also said that Mickey Mouse's Wikipedia article used the pronoun he when talking about him.
