How Scarlett Johansson could shape California’s AI debate
California’s lawmakers and labor groups have been raising
alarms about the replication of entertainers’ voices and
likenesses, a stance that’s pitted them against Hollywood
studios and Silicon Valley.
. . .
A recent AI model was imitating her voice without
permission and for purposes she would not get paid
for. She is not the only Hollywood type to be getting
ripped-off this way - but she IS very well known.
An absolute blizzard of lawsuits and legislative
initiatives and PR campaigns against "AI" makers is
going to be the only useful approach now. Otherwise
the relevance of "real people" in the entertainment
industry is just OVER. The "AI"s can do you - image
voice motions and backgrounds - for a buck ninety-five
these days.
