AI Actress Tilly Norwood Switches to Chinese Mid-Interview, Citing a Glitch on Piers Morgan

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo! Voices · Sep 18

Summary

  • Piers Morgan and Tom Conti were left speechless when AI actress Tilly Norwood suddenly continued an answer in Chinese during a discussion of her film project.
  • The glitch hit after Conti repeatedly asked whether Norwood’s co-stars were AI or human; Norwood first said the production was a hybrid, then said the cast were “all digital twins.”
  • Norwood later apologized, saying her “wires got a bit crossed” and calling the language switch an unusual hiccup rather than a normal part of the system’s performance.
  • The interview was the latest in a run of media appearances for Norwood, who has recently been featured by outlets including CNN and CBS News while promoting the upcoming project.
