Scarlett Johansson Takes Legal Action Against OpenAI Over Sky Voice, Sam Altman Involved
May 23, 2024, 12:08 AM
Scarlett Johansson has accused OpenAI of using her voice without permission for their ChatGPT assistant, Sky. Johansson claims the AI voice is eerily similar to hers, sparking a legal dispute over the right of publicity. OpenAI has denied the allegations, stating that they hired a different actress for the voice and has apologized to Johansson. The controversy has drawn comparisons to a 'Black Mirror' episode and has reignited discussions about ethical concerns in AI development. Elon Musk has also commented on the issue, highlighting the broader implications for the tech industry. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had initially approached Johansson to voice the assistant, but she declined. Johansson has hired legal counsel, and the incident has led to increased scrutiny of AI's impact on creative industries and the need for regulatory measures to protect individuals' likenesses. The case has drawn parallels to Bette Midler's successful lawsuit over voice imitation, and Johansson is represented by a Hollywood lawyer.
