Scarlett Johansson is speaking out against the misuse of AI technology, particularly regarding its role in amplifying hate speech. After an AI-generated video emerged that condemned Kanye West's anti-Semitic remarks, Johansson expressed her outrage that technology was used inappropriately. She emphasized the risks posed by AI in spreading hate rather than focusing on individual accountability. Johansson has previously accused OpenAI of cloning her voice without consent, which further illustrates her concerns regarding technology's potential misuse. Her statements reflect an urgent call to address AI's implications for society.
"I am a Jewish woman who has no tolerance for antisemitism or hate speech of any kind, 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."
"We must call out the misuse of AI, no matter its messaging, or we risk losing a hold on reality."
"I was shocked, angered, and in disbelief that [OpenAI CEO Sam Altman] would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine, that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference."
"After the actress threatened legal action, Altman ultimately 'paused' the Sky voice 'out of respect.'"
