AI actress Tilly Norwood switches to Chinese mid-interview on Piers Morgan show, video goes viral
The incident happened during ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored’ when Tilly Norwood was answering a question posed by actor Tom Conti about her upcoming film Misaligned.
Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated actress, caused a stir by suddenly switching to speaking Chinese during an interview on Piers Morgan's show. The incident occurred when actor Tom Conti questioned whether the actors in her upcoming film, Misaligned, were real or computer-generated. Norwood confirmed the actors were digital twins, similar to herself, before switching to Cantonese, a Chinese dialect spoken in Guangdong province.
Piers Morgan inquired why she abruptly began speaking Chinese, to which Norwood claimed she had made a minor mistake. The AI actress, known as "Talking Tilly" for this interview, is part of a separate version created by Particle6, the company that developed Norwood. Particle6's CEO, Eline van der Velden, stated that Tilly's language switch was not a mistake, but rather a display of her language skills, as most of her interviews have been in English.
Tilly Norwood is an autonomous AI actress created in 2025 by Xicoia, a division of the British production company Particle6 Group. Her creators assert that her voice and face are entirely unique, not derived from any real human. The AI actress has sparked controversy within the entertainment industry, with talent agencies reportedly seeking to represent her.
This led to criticism from Hollywood actors and organizations over personality rights and potential AI replacing human actors. The AI actress went on an interview tour, appearing on various media outlets, including the Piers Morgan show, which was part of this promotional tour.
