Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson accuses OpenAI CEO Sam Altman of using artificial intelligence to create a voice in their ChatGPT software that closely resembles hers. Despite declining an offer, Johansson claims the voice, named “Sky”, sounds strikingly like her character in the movie “Her”, prompting legal action and demands for transparency.

OpenAI recently launched “Sky”, whose voice was quickly pulled due to the similarity to Johansson. While the company insists it was not an imitation and used a different actress, Johansson remains unconvinced. She hired legal counsel, demanding clarity on “Sky’s” creation and expressing concerns about protecting individual likeness in the face of advancing AI and deepfake technology.

Johansson’s accusation against OpenAI raises pivotal questions about the ethical use of AI and likeness rights. The actress seeks resolution through transparency and legislation safeguarding individual rights. This incident follows Johansson’s 2021 lawsuit settlement with Disney over the release of “Black Widow,” marking another public clash with a major company.
