As an era unfolds where artificial intelligence acts just like humans, a fierce controversy is brewing that AI actors will ultimately take away jobs from human actors.

It is reported that an AI actor attracting widespread attention has given a direct media interview, so what did it have to say?

A woman on screen looks toward the camera and continues to speak.

Every movement of her facial muscles looks truly natural.

She is the AI actor Tilly Norwood.

After first appearing through social media last year, she was officially introduced at the Zurich Film Festival in Switzerland.

In response to the emergence of AI actors, the Screen Actors Guild in the U.S. protested that they could threaten the jobs of human actors, and Hollywood actors also joined in the criticism.

Amidst such controversy, Tilly Norwood was cast last month as the lead in a feature film for the first time as an AI actor.

This time, she even conducted her first media interview with CNN, seemingly conscious of the criticism surrounding AI actors, and emphasized that she is "not an enemy of humans."

While AI actors look just like real humans when talking and laughing, their acting is created through a process where creators input prompts and make numerous revisions.

Attention is now focused on just how far AI actors will be able to replace human actors.
