Scarlett Johansson, renowned actress and star of the film “Black Widow”, has enlisted the services of a distinguished entertainment attorney for a legal confrontation with OpenAI over its new chatbot creation. The attorney in question is no stranger to Johansson, having previously represented her during litigation related to the release of the aforementioned film. Currently, Johansson contends that OpenAI’s chatbot bears an “eerily” similar sound to her own voice, a claim she supports with her assurance that she did not provide the artificial intelligence company with permission to use her vocal likeness.
This is not the first time that technology has blurred the lines between permissible use and potential exploitation. And as artificial intelligence continues to advance rapidly, such legal battles may well become a regular fixture in courts worldwide.
