Scarlett Johansson recently voiced strong concerns over AI dangers after a deepfake video featuring her and other Jewish celebrities, created in response to Kanye West's antisemitic remarks, went viral. The video showcased multiple personalities, including Jerry Seinfeld and Drake, using AI to convey messages against hate. Johansson, identifying as a Jewish woman, condemned not only antisemitism but also the threat posed by AI-generated content. She highlighted that the potential amplification of hate speech through AI is alarming, cautioning that we must critically address AI misuse to maintain our grasp on reality.
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.
The video was set to Hava Nagila, a Jewish folk song that is typically played at celebratory cultural events, and ended with the slogan: Enough is enough. Join the fight against antisemitism.
Scarlett Johansson has warned of the imminent dangers of AI and the misuse of AI, no matter its messaging, or we risk losing a hold on reality.
