Not only does Scarlett Johansson play badass assassins on screen, she is one unstoppable force in real life too. The ‘Black Widow’ actress recently got involved in a spat with OpenAI but stood up for herself magnificently.
In the spat with OpenAI, Johansson did not hesitate to call out their CEO Sam Altman. All of this is because OpenAI launched a new chatbot, Sky, that sounded eerily similar to Johansson’s voice. While Altman denied any similarities between Johansson’s voice and the chatbot, the actress will not be fooled so easily.

Scarlett Johansson Says Sam Altman Will Make A Good Marvel Villain
After the spat between Scarlett Johansson and Sam Altman, the actress posted a long statement online. OpenAI also apologized to the actress. But it seems Johansson will not be easy to get an apology from.
In a recent interview with The New York Times, Johansson said, “I had actively avoided being a part of the conversation, which was what made it so disturbing. I was like, ‘How did I get wrapped up in this?’ It was crazy. I was so angry.” When Johansson was asked if Altman would make a good Marvel villain, she did not hesitate to say, “I guess he would – maybe with a robotic arm.”

The debate of whether artificial intelligence is good or bad is a never ending one. However, as technology has advanced so has cyber crime. And it is rather concerning. This is what actress Scarlett Johansson has to say about it.
“It’s like this dark wormhole you can never climb your way out of,” Johannson said in the interview while talking about the current age of digital replicas and deepfakes. She continued, “Once you try to take something down in one area, it pops up somewhere else. There are other countries that have different legislation and rules.” Johansson added, “If your ex-partner is putting out revenge, deepfake porn, your whole life can be completely ruined.”
The 39-year-old actress has been the victim of cyber crime herself when her nude pictures got leaked by a hacker. The ‘Fly Me To The Moon’ star continued, “I think technologies move faster than our fragile human egos can process it.” Johansson added, “and you see the effects all over, especially with young people. This technology is coming like a thousand-foot wave.”
