Actress Scarlett Johansson is calling for regulations on the use of artificial intelligence after her likeness was used in a fake viral video without her consent. The video shows doctored clips of various celebrities, including Johansson, protesting rapper Ye while wearing T-shirts with antisemitic imagery. The video was circulated in response to Ye selling swastika T-shirts on his website and making antisemitic comments on social media.
Johansson, who is Jewish, has spoken out against the misuse of AI technology, which allows for the creation of deepfake content without the person’s permission. She has previously taken legal action against AI-generated content that used her likeness without consent.
The actress highlighted the need for legislation to regulate the development and use of AI in the United States, noting that other countries have taken steps to address the potential dangers associated with AI. She emphasized the importance of bipartisan action to protect individuals from the consequences of AI technology.
Johansson’s statement reflects the growing concern among celebrities whose images are being used in deepfake content, including through AI-generated advertisements. She urges the U.S. government to prioritize legislation that limits the use of AI to protect all citizens from the potential threats posed by this technology.
