ScarJo-OpenAI fight focuses the AI safety debate

It’s the most interesting tech scandal in recent memory: Actress Scarlett Johansson accused OpenAI of deliberately — and creepily — copying her voice to make ChatGPT sound like her AI character in the movie Her.

OpenAI denied this and has paused the feature, but it has sparked widespread outrage, with the union representing Hollywood actors and other artists on Tuesday urging Congress to pass legislation to protect people like Johansson.
