Scarlett Johansson’s iconic voice brought the AI assistant in the 2013 film "Her" to life, highlighting the potential risks of technology imitating human characteristics.
Recently, Johansson criticized an AI chatbot mimicking her voice, confusing even her close ones.
This incident underscores the importance of consent in AI and privacy matters. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, a fan of "Her," compared his company's new AI, "Sky," to the film.
Johansson had declined to voice this AI, and OpenAI denies using her voice for "Sky," which has been paused amid the controversy. This scenario brings to light the broader issue of unauthorized use of personal data, emphasizing the need for stronger legal protections.
The U.S. has precedents protecting unique public identities, like Bette Midler's case in the 1980s, and advocates call for federal laws to safeguard personal privacy against rapid technological advances. Johansson’s situation serves as a reminder that protecting our identities in the digital age is crucial for everyone.
