Why OpenAI shouldxa0fearxa0a Scarlett Johansson lawsuit

Will Scarlett Johansson sue OpenAI for creating a voice assistant that sounds like the actor’s performance in the 2013 film ‘Her,’ about a man who falls in love with an artificial intelligence? Now, legal experts say Johansson may have a powerful and credible claim in court if she does decide to sue. OpenAI could face significant damages and raise questions about the industry’s readiness to deal with AI’s complications. Copyright and right-of-publicity laws may come into play. OpenAI claims not to have used Johansson’s actual voice but could still be liable for illegally monetizing her identity.
