Scarlett Johansson has condemned the use of AI after her likeness was used in a viral video of celebrities condemning Kanye West’s antisemitism.<\/p>\n

The AI-generated clip shows celebrities such as Johansson, Ben Stiller, Mila Kunis and Steven Spielberg wearing white T-shirts featuring the Star of David inside a hand sticking up its middle finger above Kanye’s<\/strong><\/a> name.<\/p>\n

It finishes with an AI version of Adam Sandler sticking his middle finger up at the camera and the words: “Enough is enough. Join the fight to end antisemitism.”<\/p>\n

But Johansson released a statement about “the misuse of AI”, writing: “I am a Jewish woman who has no tolerance for antisemitism or hate speech of any kind.<\/p>\n

“But I also firmly believe that the potential for hate speech multiplied by AI is a far greater threat than any one person who takes accountability for it.<\/p>\n

“We must call out the misuse of AI, no matter its messaging, or we risk losing a hold on reality.”<\/p>\n

She added: “I have unfortunately been a very public victim of AI, but the truth is that the threat of AI affects each and every one of us.”<\/p>\n

She called on the US government to do more to limit AI, adding: “There is a 1,000ft wave coming regarding AI that several progressive countries, not including the United States, have responded to in a responsible manner. It is terrifying that the US government is paralysed when it comes to passing legislation that protects all of its citizens against the imminent dangers of AI.<\/p>\n

“I urge the US government to make the passing of legislation limiting AI use a top priority; it is a bipartisan issue that enormously affects the immediate future of humanity at large.”<\/p>\n

Controversy surrounding swastika T-shirts<\/strong><\/p>\n

It comes amid a backlash after West, also known as Ye<\/strong><\/a>, sold T-shirts featuring a swastika and wrote a series of antisemitic messages on X.<\/p>\n

On Sunday the US rapper bought a Super Bowl advert which directed people to his website, which featured nothing but a single white T-shirt with a swastika on the front alongside the code “HH-01” – which the Anti-Defamation League (ADF) said was code for “Heil Hitler”.<\/p>\n

The ADF described the shirt, which was on sale for $20 (\u00a316) as “further proof” of West’s antisemitism.<\/p>\n

The e-commerce platform Spotify, which hosts many online shops and businesses, later deactivated his site<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an emailed statement to Sky News’ partner network NBC News, Shopify said: “All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them from Shopify.”<\/p>\n

Antisemitic online posts<\/strong><\/p>\n

In recent days West posted antisemitic messages on X, as well as “I love Hitler” and “I’m a Nazi”.<\/p>\n

His account then had a “sensitive content warning” added before he deactivated it<\/strong><\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

His spokesperson Milo Yiannopoulos said: “Ye is an intergenerational artist and icon who continues to redefine the limits of creativity and free expression. He has deactivated his X account for the time being.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The Campaign Against Antisemitism was joined by Friends star David Schwimmer, who features in the AI video, in calling for Elon Musk to remove West from X<\/a><\/strong> over a string of offensive posts.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
