OpenAI CEO Sam Altman faces backlash over the release of the ChatGPT voice option 'Sky,' which closely resembles Scarlett Johansson's voice without her approval.

Scarlett Johansson had declined to license her voice for the model, yet it was still released, leading to legal action from her.

OpenAI denied that the voice was based on Johansson's and subsequently removed it from the models, issuing an apology for the misunderstanding.

This incident highlights concerns in Hollywood about AI replicating voices and images, with Sag-Aftra advocating for legislation to protect performers' rights.

The situation underscores the risks associated with the unauthorized use of personal identity in the virtual world.
