Can an AI Actor Win Over Hollywood?

An AI-generated actor called Tilly Norwood has been cast in the lead role of a forthcoming film, adding to the debate about artificial intelligence in filmmaking. The announcement follows criticism from actors such as Emily Blunt, and objections from the US performers' union. Eline Van der Velden, founder and CEO of Particle6, explains why she created Tilly Norwood, while Jake Kanter, international investigations editor at Deadline, sets out the reaction from the film industry.

Andy Burnham has become the UK's new prime minister, and his approach to the media is already attracting attention. His team has relied more on social media, online creators and direct communication than on traditional broadcast interviews. Lizzy Buchan, political editor of the Daily Mirror; Jennifer Gerber, senior political advisor, WA Communications; Tom Nicholas, creator of the Slow News Day YouTube channel; and broadcaster Andrew Neil, presenter of The Andrew Neil Report, assess what this could mean for political journalism and public accountability.
