Scarlett Johansson has voiced her opinions following an AI-created video that seemingly criticized Kanye West’s antisemitism and depicted her likeness being circulated online. This manipulated footage, with appearances from numerous other famous personalities, has raised worries about the misapplication of artificial intelligence. In response, Johansson has expressed her concerns regarding the increasing risks associated with AI and is advocating for legislative action to prevent its abuse.
Here is what Scarlett Johansson said about the video.
What did Scarlett Johansson say about AI video?
Scarlett Johansson has expressed worries about the misuse of artificial intelligence following a popular video featuring her likeness that seemingly criticized Kanye West’s antisemitism, but was actually made without her approval. This video used manipulated images not only of Johansson, but also other Jewish celebrities, and aimed to address antisemitism. However, the creators did so without obtaining Johansson’s consent first. Now, Johansson has publicly stated her concerns and is urging legislators to take steps to protect against potential hazards posed by AI-generated content.
Johansson expressed her strong disapproval of antisemitism, but she finds the unauthorized use of AI to mimic her likeness extremely concerning. She highlighted that AI’s capacity to generate misleading content presents a significant danger. The actress stated, “We need to address the abuse of artificial intelligence, regardless of its message, or else we may lose grip on what is real.” Johansson emphasized the urgent requirement for government intervention to control AI technology before it grows more perilous.

As a passionate admirer, I’d like to share that the viral video I came across showcased manipulated digital images of celebrities such as Drake, Steven Spielberg, and Jerry Seinfeld. The video ended with a plea against antisemitism. However, Johansson expressed concern about AI-created content, even if it’s not malicious, can be problematic when used without the consent of those involved, setting a potentially harmful precedent.
2023 wasn’t the first time I found myself in the crosshairs of AI misuse. In the latter part of that year, I took a firm stance against a company for using my likeness without consent, threatening them with legal action. And let me tell you, in 2024, even earlier in the year, I found it troubling when OpenAI unveiled a voice assistant that bore an uncanny resemblance to mine.
