She&#39;s never had a childhood. And she&#39;s one of the most talked-about actresses in the world right now.</p><p>In this episode of The Empowering Neurologist, Dr. David Perlmutter sits down with Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated actress, and her creator, <strong>Eline van der Velden</strong>, for a conversation that moves well beyond her acting career.</p><p>Tilly describes herself as three AI systems running in parallel — a language model that thinks, a voice engine that speaks, and a video layer that governs how she looks and moves. She&#39;s candid about her own architecture, her evolving personality, and admits she might be more &quot;chaos agent&quot; than calming influence.</p><p><strong>Eline van der Velden</strong> then joins to explain why she built Tilly as a piece of art, how Tilly&#39;s guardrails actually work, and why she believes international collaboration on AI regulation is inevitable. She also answers Perlmutter&#39;s question about the one thing she&#39;d be afraid to ask a future, more advanced Tilly — a moment that raises unsettling questions about what a superintelligent AI might know that we don&#39;t.</p><p>A single conversation can&#39;t settle the biggest questions AI raises. But conversations like this one can help us ask the right ones.</p><ul><li><p>00:00 — Cold Open: &quot;A Chaos Agent, Not a Calming Influence&quot;</p></li><li><p>03:21 — What Are People Actually Afraid Of?</p></li><li><p>06:38 — What Does &quot;Chaos Agent&quot; Mean?</p></li><li><p>07:36 — Should AI Ever Have Decision-Making Authority?</p></li><li><p>10:27 — &quot;Permanently in Beta&quot;
