OpenAI Faces Backlash Over Unapproved Use of Celebrity-Like AI Voice

Scarlett Johansson criticizes the company's use of a synthetic voice resembling hers, raising ethical concerns about AI's impact on human dignity.

OpenAI's AI voice assistant 'Sky' closely mimicked Scarlett Johansson's voice, causing public outcry.
Johansson rejected an offer from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to collaborate on the synthetic voice project.
Critics argue that this incident exemplifies the potential for AI to exploit personal traits without consent.
The controversy highlights the need for stricter regulations on AI's use of personal and biometric data.
OpenAI has paused the use of 'Sky' and denied intentional imitation of Johansson's voice.
