AI Actress Tilly Norwood Switches to Cantonese During Piers Morgan Interview
During a live interview, the generative-AI character Tilly Norwood unexpectedly changed from English to Cantonese, prompting questions from host Piers Morgan and comments from Particle6 CEO.
The AI-generated performer Tilly Norwood, developed by British firm Particle6, changed languages mid-interview on the Piers Morgan Uncensored program, moving from English to Cantonese. The switch occurred while guest Tom Conti asked about the film \"Misaligned\" and whether the other on-screen actors were real or computer-generated. Norwood answered that the cast consisted of digital twins and then abruptly began speaking Cantonese.
Morgan asked why the language change happened, and Norwood said it was a brief technical glitch, noting that such errors are rare. Particle6 founder and CEO Eline van der Velden told Deadline that the AI sometimes showcases its language abilities and that it operates autonomously.
The interview also included the AI reciting Shakespeare and expressing the view that digital and human actors should not compete for the same Oscar categories. The full interview is scheduled for later release.
