13 Feb - Furious over the AI-generated image of her being used to create a fake video slamming Kanye West, Scarlett Johansson is calling on US legislators to pass laws limiting the use of artificial intelligence.

The call came following a viral video of AI-generated celebrities including herself calling out the rapper for his antisemitic statements. In the video, the AI-Scarlett Johansson is seen wearing a white T-shirt with the image of a hand flipping the middle finger, the name "Kanye" and a Star of David.

The fake video also included AI-generated images of Adam Levine, Mila Kunis, Lenny Kravitz, Mark Zuckerberg, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Stiller, Natalie Portman, David Schwimmer.

It is noted, however, that the video did mention that the images are AI-generated.

Said the actress, "I am a Jewish woman who has no tolerance for antisemitism or hate speech of any kind. But I also firmly believe that the potential for hate speech multiplied by AI is a far greater threat than any one person who takes accountability for it. We must call out the misuse of AI, no matter its messaging, or we risk losing a hold on reality."

"There is a 1000-foot wave coming regarding AI that several progressive countries, not including the United States, have responded to in a responsible manner. It is terrifying that the US government is paralyzed when it comes to passing legislation that protects all of its citizens against the imminent dangers of AI," she continued, adding that limiting AI should be a top priority.
