Actors union supports Scarlett Johansson in fight over ChatGPT voice assistant

SAG-AFTRA, the union representing thousands of actors and other media professionals, threw their support behind actress Scarlett Johansson after she expressed concerns over ChatGPT's new voiced artificial intelligence (AI) assistant that she claims sounds "eerily similar" to her voice.

"We share in her concerns and fully support her right to have clarity and transparency regarding the voice used in developing the Chat GPT-4o appliance 'Sky,'" a SAG-AFTRA spokesperson wrote in a statement Tuesday.
