Emily Blunt Sounds Alarm on AI Actors: 'Very Unsettling'

The actress, known for her roles in 'A Quiet Place' and 'Mary Poppins Returns', finds this technology unsettling and threatening to genuine human connection in acting.
Tilly Norwood, created by studio Xicoia under entrepreneur Eline Van der Velden's AI company, was unveiled at the Zurich Summit.

However, Blunt disagrees, stating 'But we already have Scarlett Johansson' when responding to Van der Velden's ambitions.
Blunt's opposition to AI actors is not new. She has previously expressed her concern about these digital performers replacing human connections in acting agencies. She finds AI-generated actors 'very, very unsettling' and has pleaded for the preservation of human artistry in acting.
Emily Blunt's critical stance on AI-generated actors like Tilly Norwood highlights the ongoing debate about the role of technology in the arts. While some see AI as the future, Blunt argues for the value of human connection and authenticity in acting.
