Calling viral AI actress Tilly Norwood? Agree to a face scan first

Summary

Xicoia Ltd's Talking Tilly service, which lets callers video-chat with the viral AI actress Tilly Norwood, requires an automated age check before the first call. A video selfie is analysed by Didit, a Spain-based provider, with a government ID upload as fallback, and the company says no faceprint is created and images are not kept. During every call, the system analyses the camera feed and tone of voice to infer emotional state, and the privacy policy says this cannot be switched off for an individual call. The service ends permanently on September 27, and unused minutes expire then.
