HOLLYWOOD, USA: Renowned actor Morgan Freeman addressed concerns over AI-generated replicas of his voice, thanking fans for alerting him to unauthorized uses.
Freeman emphasized the importance of authenticity and integrity, denouncing attempts to mimic his voice through artificial intelligence.
This follows similar issues faced by Scarlett Johansson, who accused OpenAI of imitating her voice without consent after she declined to license it for their AI system named “Sky.” Johansson expressed shock and disbelief upon hearing the replicated voice, prompting her to consider legal action.
Both incidents underscore growing concerns over the ethical implications of AI technology mimicking celebrity voices without permission, raising questions about identity protection and the boundaries of digital impersonation in the entertainment industry.
