Scarlett Johansson, known for her roles in films like “Lost in Translation” and “Black Widow,” made the allegation during a recent interview, stating that she was “shocked and dismayed” to learn of the unauthorized use.

According to Johansson, her voice was allegedly incorporated into ChatGPT’s “text-to-speech” function, allowing the chatbot to generate speech resembling her own. She claims that she has never granted OpenAI permission to use her voice, and that the company’s actions constitute a breach of her intellectual property rights.

“It’s a complete violation of my rights, and I’m deeply disappointed that OpenAI would take such liberties without my knowledge or consent,” Scarlett Johansson said. “My voice is a part of my identity, and I have the right to control how it’s used.”

The allegations come at a time when the ethics of AI and its potential for misuse are under increasing scrutiny. OpenAI has yet to publicly respond to Johansson’s claims. However, the news has sparked a debate about the potential for AI companies to exploit the voices and likenesses of celebrities without their consent.

Johansson’s legal team is reportedly reviewing the situation and considering potential legal action against OpenAI.
