Actress Scarlett Johansson reacts to her husband Colin Jost’s joke at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at Washington Hilton in Washington, on April 27, 2024. Days before OpenAI demonstrated its new, flirty voice assistant last week, the actress Scarlett Johansson said, Sam Altman, the company’s chief executive, called her agent and asked that she consider licensing her voice for a virtual assistant.
OpenAI suspended its release of “Sky” over the weekend. The company said in a blog post Sunday that “AI voices should not deliberately mimic a celebrity’s distinctive voice – Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice.”
OpenAI said it couldn’t share the names of its voice professionals for privacy reasons. It said it had worked with unidentified directors and producers to develop five voices for its product: Breeze, Cove, Ember, Juniper and Sky. The voices were recorded last summer in San Francisco. It is the second time in recent years that Johannson has taken a public stand against a prominent company. In 2021, she sued the Walt Disney Co, accusing it of breaching her contract because it released the filmsimultaneously in theaters and on Disney+. Johannson, who has played the Marvel character Black Widow in eight blockbuster films, reached a settlement with the company.as a young woman who formed an unlikely bond in Tokyo with a movie star played by Bill Murray.
Chen then went through a lengthy demonstration, showing how OpenAI had combined the conversational skills of its ChatGPT chatbot with the sound of a voice assistant like the iPhone’s Siri. OpenAI’s assistant could simultaneously juggle audio, images and video so it could answer a written math question and respond to questions.
