Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has spoken out against a viral AI-generated video featuring celebrities protesting Kanye West’s recent antisemitic posts. In the video, AI versions of Johansson, Jack Black, Mila Kunis, Drake, Steven Spielberg, and others are seen wearing T-shirts with the Star of David and a middle finger gesture, with the word ‘Kanye’ written underneath. The video ends with messages urging people to join the fight against antisemitism.
Johansson criticized the use of AI in the video, calling it a misuse and emphasizing the need to address the potential dangers of AI-generated hate speech. She emphasized the importance of passing legislation to limit AI use, which she believes is a bipartisan issue that affects humanity at large. The actress, who has been a victim of AI herself, has been fighting back against the recreation of her likeness in various instances.
The statement comes as West faces repercussions for his antisemitic comments, including being dropped by his talent manager and having his profile deactivated. His website, Yeezy.com, also went offline after selling a shirt featuring a swastika.
Johansson’s call to action urges the U.S. government to prioritize passing legislation to protect citizens from the imminent dangers of AI. She believes that the threat of AI affects everyone and that responsible action is needed to address the challenges posed by advanced technology.
