Episode notes

There is debate over whether the AI voice mimicking Scarlett Johansson was directly trained on her voice or not. Some argue that sounding similar does not imply direct training. While some AI safety advocates demand transparency in training, others believe the controversy is exaggerated. The dissolution of OpenAI's super alignment team is seen as more significant than the legal dispute over the use of similar voices by AI.

OpenAI is facing controversy after Scarlett Johansson claimed they used a voice eerily similar to hers in their recent demos without her permission. Johansson has released a statement saying she declined an offer from OpenAI to use her voice and is now seeking legal clarity. OpenAI responded by pausing the voice, insisting it was not modeled after Johansson’s. This incident raises important questions about AI ethics, likeness rights, and the responsibilities of tech companies in this emerging field. ** Join Superintelligent at https://besuper.ai/ -- Practical, useful, hands on AI education through tutorials and step-by-step how-tos.
