An online ad featuring an artificial intelligence-generated version of Scarlett Johansson without her permission appears to no longer be online following a request from the actor\u2019s attorney.<\/p>\n

Lisa AI: 90s Yearbook & Avatar allegedly used actual footage of Johansson from a campaign she did in conjunction with Omaze, a for-profit fundraising company that often partners with celebrities, and Marvel Studios, according to Variety.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NBC News has not viewed the advertisement. It appears to no longer be on X, where it originated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not take these things lightly,\u201d Kevin Yorn, Johansson\u2019s attorney, said in a statement. \u201cPer our usual course of action in these circumstances, we will deal with it with all legal remedies that we will have.\u201d<\/p>\n

The advertisement first began to bubble up on X around Saturday. Text under the advertisement read, \u201cImages produced by Lisa AI. It has nothing to do with this person,\u201d according to Variety.<\/p>\n

Lisa AI is one of a number of AI apps that have flooded the market in recent months. It lets users \u201ccreate amazing artworks with AI,\u201d including text suggestions that produce images, its website says. As of Wednesday night, the app appeared to be available on both Google\u2019s Play Store and Apple\u2019s App Store.<\/p>\n

Representatives for Lisa AI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johansson is the latest celebrity to take issue with the alleged misuse of her likeness in AI, as deepfakes \u2014 a type of artificial media in which people\u2019s faces are replaced with those of other people \u2014 and the technology behind them becomes more sophisticated.<\/p>\n

Actors have also been sounding the alarm about AI images for some time. The digitally altered images have been a sticking point in the negotiations between the Hollywood studios and SAG-AFTRA, the actors\u2019 union, which is on strike.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, actor Tom Hanks posted on Instagram that he had \u201cnothing to do with\u201d a computer-generated image of him \u201cpromoting some dental plan.\u201d Zelda Williams, the daughter of the late actor\/comedian Robin Williams, called the AI recreations of him circulating on the internet \u201cpersonally disturbing.\u201d And YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, who goes by Mr Beast, also shared with his millions of followers that a deepfake advertisement using his likeness was a scam. The advertisement he posted about was quickly removed from TikTok.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
