San Francisco, Nov 2 : Actor Scarlett Johansson is reportedly suing an app developer for using her name and AI-generated version of her voice in an online ad.
As reported by Variety, the 22-second ad showed Johansson behind the scenes while filming ‘Black Widow’, where she says “What’s up guys? It’s Scarlett and I want you to come with me.”
Later, an AI-generated voice meant to sound like the actor takes over, saying “It’s not limited to avatars only.You can also create images with texts and even your AI videos.I think you shouldn’t miss it.”
The ad was for an AI image editor, called Lisa AI: 90s Yearbook & Avatar, the report mentioned.
Convert Software — the developer behind the app — included text at the bottom of the ad that read: “Images produced by Lisa AI.It has nothing to do with this person.”
Representatives for Johansson were quoted as saying in the report that the actor was never a spokesperson for the app.
