Do Not Imitate Her
Briefly

Scarlett Johansson condemned AI technology's potential misuse following an AI-generated video featuring her likeness. She stressed the urgency of addressing hate speech amplified by AI, sharing her belief that this poses a greater threat than individual accountability. Johansson urged the U.S. government to enhance protective legislation, drawing attention to her past experiences with deepfake technology that mimicked her voice. The actress, who identifies as Jewish, highlighted the necessity for clarity in protecting personal identities against AI misuse and the proliferation of deepfakes.
"But I also firmly believe that the potential for hate speech multiplied by AI is a far greater threat than any one person who takes accountability for it."
"There is a 1,000-foot wave coming regarding AI that several progressive countries, not including the United States, have responded to in a responsible manner."
"In a time when we are all grappling with deepfakes and the protection of our own likeness, our own work, our own identities, I believe these are questions that deserve absolute clarity."
