Scarlett Johansson is reportedly suing an app developer for using her name and an AI-generated version of her voice in an online ad. As reported, the 22-second ad showed Johansson behind the scenes while filming Black Widow, where she says, “What’s up, guys? It’s Scarlett, and I want you to come with me.” Later, an AI-generated voice, meant to sound like the actor, takes over, saying, “It’s not limited to avatars only. You can also create images with texts and even your AI videos. I think you shouldn’t miss it.”

The ad was for an AI image editor called Lisa AI: 90s Yearbook and Avatar. The developer behind the app included text at the bottom of the ad that read: “Images produced by Lisa AI. It has nothing to do with this person.” Representatives for Johansson were quoted as saying that the actor was never a spokesperson for the app.
