Scarlett Johansson has spoken out against the misuse of AI after her likeness was used in a viral video condemning Kanye West’s antisemitism. The AI-generated clip showed celebrities wearing T-shirts with the Star of David and a raised middle finger above Kanye’s name. Johansson, who is Jewish, expressed her intolerance for hate speech and called for regulation of AI to prevent further misuse. She urged the US government to prioritize passing legislation limiting AI use, citing the imminent dangers it poses.
The controversy surrounding West escalated when he sold T-shirts featuring a swastika and posted antisemitic messages online. The Anti-Defamation League (ADF) condemned the shirt and code “HH-01” as symbols of antisemitism, leading to the deactivation of West’s website by the e-commerce platform Spotify. West’s social media accounts were also deactivated after posting offensive content.
In response, the Campaign Against Antisemitism, along with actor David Schwimmer, called on Elon Musk to remove West from X, the social media platform he co-founded. Despite West’s spokesperson defending his actions as a form of artistic expression, the outrage over his antisemitic behavior remains. The incident has sparked discussions about the regulation of AI and the urgent need for laws to protect against the misuse of technology.
