Actress Scarlett Johansson is taking legal action against an AI app called Lisa AI: 90s Yearbook & Avatar for using her likeness without permission in an advertisement.
The app generated an AI version of Johansson’s voice and image, which appeared in a 22-second ad promoting the app.
Johansson’s lawyer stated that they will pursue legal remedies to address the issue.

This incident follows a similar case involving Tom Hanks, who warned fans about an AI-generated video commercial falsely portraying him selling dental insurance.
