Scarlett Johansson Calls for AI Regulation After Viral Deepfake Video

Scarlett Johansson has called for U.S. legislation on artificial intelligence following the unauthorized use of her likeness in a viral AI-generated video condemning Kanye West's antisemitic remarks. The video features celebrities, including Johansson, wearing T-shirts with the Star of David and calling for an end to antisemitism in response to West's inflammatory statements and merchandise. Johansson, who identifies as Jewish, expressed her intolerance for hate speech while warning that AI's potential to amplify such messages poses a significant threat. She emphasized the need for the U.S. government to prioritize regulations on AI, which she believes could impact the future of society. The outcry came after West's recent antisemitic tweets and his promotion of swastika-themed merchandise, which have sparked widespread criticism. Johansson's statements highlight the growing concern over the misuse of AI technologies in shaping public discourse.
