OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has taken action against deceptive uses of AI in covert operations focused on the Indian elections. The company disrupted a network of accounts originated from Israel that used AI-generated content to criticize the ruling BJP party and praise the opposition Congress party. The disrupted activity had no significant impact on audience engagement or reach. OpenAI is committed to developing safe AI and preventing abuse of its services.
Despite the hype surrounding generative AI in recent months, a new study suggests that regular use of these tools is still relatively low. OpenAI’s ChatGPT is the most widely used, with 2% of respondents in France and the UK, and 7% in the US using it daily. However, between 19% and 30% of respondents haven’t even heard of any of the most popular generative AI tools. Younger people are more likely to use generative AI regularly, with 56% of those aged between 18 and 24 saying they’ve used ChatGPT at least once. Going forward, the study predicts that generative AI will be driven by a combination of professional adaptation, workplace products, and the integration of AI elements into social media and search engines.
Private companies developing advanced AI require government oversight to balance profit incentives with societal well-being. OpenAI’s attempt at self-governance failed, highlighting the need for external regulation. Governments must implement transparency requirements and incident-tracking to ensure responsible AI development. Past experiences with internet regulation show the importance of judicious regulation to strike the right balance between innovation and societal protection.

The multi-year deal, valued at up to $250 million, grants OpenAI access to content from News Corp’s prestigious titles, including The Wall Street Journal, The Times, The Sun, The Australian, and many more. This strategic partnership will enable OpenAI to enhance its ChatGPT chatbot and other AI-powered services with high-quality reporting and journalistic insights.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has defended the safety of his company’s AI technology following concerns raised by actress Scarlett Johansson over the unauthorized use of her voice in an AI-generated audio demo. Altman stated that OpenAI has taken significant measures to ensure the safety and robustness of its models, emphasizing that the company prioritizes responsible development and use of AI technology.
Actress Scarlett Johansson has accused OpenAI CEO Sam Altman of using a voice for the ChatGPT system that sounds eerily similar to her own, despite her declining to voice the chatbot herself. OpenAI has since suspended use of the voice, but Johansson’s public displeasure and potential legal action are raising concerns about the ethical implications of AI voice replication and the importance of respecting individuals’ right to consent.
Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has hired legal counsel to push for the removal of an artificial intelligence voice from OpenAI’s chatbot, which she claims sounds like her. She expressed shock and anger upon hearing the released demo, stating that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman pursued a voice eerily similar to hers despite her refusal to participate in the project.
Actress Scarlett Johansson has accused OpenAI of using her voice without her consent for their new ChatGPT 4o chatbot. Johansson says that the voice, named “Sky,” is “eerily similar” to her own, and that she declined the company’s request to use her voice when they originally approached her. The situation has raised concerns about the use of deepfakes and the protection of personal identities in the era of artificial intelligence.
OpenAI is temporarily suspending the use of the ‘Sky’ voice on its ChatGPT platform after concerns were raised that it sounded too similar to actress Scarlett Johansson. The voice, one of five available on ChatGPT, was generated from an actress and not intended to impersonate Johansson, according to OpenAI. The decision comes after users expressed discomfort with the voice’s resemblance to Johansson, who famously played a virtual assistant in the film ‘Her.’ OpenAI is currently working to address the issue and will provide updates as they become available.
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has revealed the unexpected loss of privacy and anonymity that has come with his prominence in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Altman’s work has led to widespread recognition, making public outings a challenge. Despite initially underestimating the impact of his celebrity, Altman has now realized that the inability to go out in public without being noticed has profoundly affected his life, creating an isolating existence.
