📌 Voice of Controversy: Scarlett Johansson Challenges AI Imitation
Scarlett Johansson is seeking legal counsel after a new AI chatbot, released by OpenAI, used a voice remarkably similar to hers, named "Sky." Despite the company's denial of imitation, Johansson expressed shock and disbelief over the similarity, which even her friends and media could not distinguish. Previously, she had declined an offer to voice this system. In response, OpenAI has paused using "Sky's" voice out of respect for Johansson. This incident highlights the ongoing concerns regarding individual rights amidst the rise of AI and deepfakes, emphasizing the challenges celebrities face in protecting their likeness.
