OpenAI is facing backlash after allegedly using Scarlett Johansson's voice without her permission. Reports suggest that OpenAI contacted Johansson twice for permission to use her voice, did not receive it, and proceeded to use it anyway. The company then swiftly took down the content. This incident has been described as a reputational 'miss' for OpenAI and is seen as a precedent-setting event in the realm of AI ethics and intellectual property.
