Actress and producer Scarlett Johansson says her clash with artificial intelligence (AI) company OpenAI highlights how “vulnerable” people are to misuse of the technology.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the release of her new film Fly Me To The Moon, Johansson<\/strong> said: “We’re all waiting and supporting the passing of legislation to protect everybody’s individual rights.<\/p>\n

“This highlights how vulnerable everybody is to [AI]<\/strong> and how little protection people do have – if any – of their work in their likeness,” she said.<\/p>\n

In May, Johansson said she was “shocked” and “angered” after OpenAI allegedly recreated her voice without her consent<\/strong> for a new ChatGPT<\/strong> system.<\/p>\n

The actress criticised the company’s chief executive Sam Altman for insinuating she was the voice named ‘Sky’ by posting the word “her” on X, a reference to a film in which she voices an AI with which a human falls in love.<\/p>\n

Mr Altman approached the 39-year-old Oscar nominee to voice the current ChatGPT 4.0 system last September but Johansson declined for personal reasons, she said in a statement.<\/p>\n

OpenAI paused the use of the ChatGPT voice, saying: “We’ve heard questions about how we chose the voices in ChatGPT, especially Sky.<\/p>\n

“We are working to pause the use of Sky while we address them.”<\/p>\n

Just over a week later, Mr Altman told a UN AI conference: “It’s not her voice. It’s not supposed to be. I’m sorry for the confusion. Clearly, you think it is.”<\/p>\n

Actor Channing Tatum, who stars alongside Johansson in Fly Me To The Moon, said he worries about the impact AI is going to have on people’s livelihoods.<\/p>\n

“So many people are going to lose their jobs just to an AI that can do so much,” he told reporters.<\/p>\n

“I just can’t believe that’s not even a bigger story than it is right now.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
