Scarlett Johansson has issued a warning on the “misuse of AI” following the release of a deepfake film that allegedly showed her and other Jewish celebrities sending Kanye West a protest message.
It comes after the rapper sold Swastika T-shirts on his website and abruptly departed the X platform after a flurry of antisemitic messages.
The phony film showed Johansson and other celebrities, such as David Schwimmer and Jerry Seinfeld, wearing a white T-shirt with the word “Kanye” above it and the Star of David on a hand giving a one-finger salute.
The American actress stated that although she had no time for “hate speech,” she was more worried about the possibility that artificial intelligence will cause humanity to “lose hold on reality.”
