AI-generated actor Tilly Norwood has sparked heated controversy across the film industry.
Her creator, Dutch comedian Eline Van der Velden, has referred to Norwood as a 'work of art'. Van der Velden says she hopes Norwood will be the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman.
Hollywood names such as Emily Blunt, Melissa Barrera and Mara Wilson have spoken out against it, calling the situation 'terrifying'.
Allan Cameron, Professor of Humanities at the University of Auckland, talks to Mihingarangi about the implications of AI-generated actors in film and the way we engage with art.
