Actors, especially young women at the bottom of the film industry hierarchies deepfake (Oct 2025)

Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated "actor" created by Particle6, has sparked controversy in Hollywood. Tilly was developed entirely from scratch using original creative design, with the company denying any usage of any person's or performer's likeness without explicit consent and fair compensation. The main concerns revolve around reinforcing narrow beauty standards for women, potential negative impacts on body image, and the possibility of AI being used as a tool to exploit vulnerable actors and discourage them from demanding better working conditions.
