Scarlett Johansson challenges OpenAI over voice that sounds 'eerily similar' to hers

On May 20, 2024, actress Scarlett Johansson publicly challenged OpenAI over a ChatGPT voice called 'Sky' that sounded 'eerily similar' to her own. Johansson revealed that OpenAI had approached her nine months earlier to license her voice, she declined, and the company used a voice she believed imitated hers anyway. OpenAI denied deliberate imitation but suspended the voice. The incident became a landmark moment in the debate over AI consent, celebrity likeness rights, and the ethical boundaries of AI voice synthesis.
