Case chronology
OpenAI says it suspended Sky from this date
OpenAI’s updated explanation says Sky was suspended from May 19, while maintaining that the voice came from another professional actor and did not imitate Johansson.
Johansson says she has requested an explanation of the voice’s origin
In a statement supplied through a representative, Johansson says she declined participation, considered the demonstration’s voice similar to her own, and engaged lawyers to seek an explanation of its production.
SAG-AFTRA supports Johansson’s call for transparency
SAG-AFTRA supports Johansson’s request for information about Sky’s origin, welcomes its suspension, and reiterates support for federal legislation protecting voices and likenesses from unauthorised digital replication.
Research question
An actor’s demand for control over vocal identity conflicts with a company’s account of independent casting.
