About this episode

The episode explores the implications of AI actress Tilly Norwood on the acting industry with insights from guest Rebecca Osias.

So, an AI actress is here to take all of our jobs and change the face of the acting industry forever… Or is it? In this deep-dive episode Alexa is joined by actor and screenwriter Rebecca Osias - who also isn't one to shy away from difficult industry conversations. Together they discuss the concerns and questions around "Tilly Norwood", why there is no space for generative AI in creative spaces, the responses from industry organisations - and so much more. Including a look at the website of the "100% AI generated production company" behind this code, why the original article about agent interest may not be exactly what it seems, and how public funding comes into all of it...
