Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, had long been infamous for his antisemitic views, once even declaring, “We gotta stop dissing the Nazis,” and openly expressing admiration for Hitler. Over the years, his inflammatory remarks drew backlash from the public and countless celebrities alike. Eventually, AI became the latest tool in calling out the rapper's behavior, but not without collateral damage.

AI cast Scarlett Johansson in a role she never auditioned for, dragging her into a manufactured controversy she never agreed to be a part of, and if anyone thought she would sit back and take the hits quietly, they were in for quite an awakening.

Recently, an AI-generated video has been circulating over social media that featured Scarlett Johansson, seen wearing a white t-shirt featuring a hand and its middle finger extended. The Marvel starlet shared with PEOPLE how her family and friends who first brought the deepfakes to her attention, and emphasized the broader societal risks posed by unregulated AI. She urged the US government to implement regulations to protect individuals from such potentially harmful uses of AI. The AI video also featured other Jewish celebrities including Drake, Jerry Seinfeld, Steven Spielberg, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Black, Mila Kunis Adam Sandler, and Lenny Kravitz.

For Johansson, this was not the first time she had been targeted by artificial intelligence. Johansson had previously faced unauthorized use of her likeness through AI, notably when OpenAI's ChatGPT featured a voice strikingly similar to hers without her consent. Given these repeated violations of her identity, one could hardly blame the actress for reaching the end of her tether with such great misuse of AI.

While Johhansso despises AI as has been seen in recent times, Ye has chosen to wield it for his gain.

AI had been both a curse and a catalyst for Ye. While it fueled controversy around him, Ye revealed that he had embraced the technology to reignite his creative spark, using it as a tool to push his musical boundaries. If the world insisted on painting AI as a villain, he would simply make it his accomplice.

On the other hand, Scarlett Johansson’s battle against AI misuse highlights the urgent need for regulation, while Ye’s embrace of it shows its growing influence in entertainment. Whether AI is a miracle or a nuisance, remains to be said, but one thing is for sure, no is untouched by its growing influence.
