After Scarlett Johansson Dustup, AI Lobbying Group Urges Congress to Outlaw Deepfakes


Scarlett Johansson called out OpenAI last month for impersonating her voice. An AI trade group is now calling for a ban on unauthorized deepfakes.

Scarlett Johansson called for legislation last month to outlaw AI deepfakes, after OpenAI released a voice chat demo that sounded eerily like her. BSA, which also represents companies like Adobe and Oracle, is pushing for a narrower approach, which would encourage takedowns of digital replicas while exempting platforms from legal liability for users’ conduct. The Motion Picture Association, which represents the major entertainment studios, has pushed back on some of that legislation, arguing that it inadvertently infringes on the First Amendment by outlawing legitimate parody or recreations of historical figures.
