The company has denied these allegations entirely, stating that the voice that sparked the controversy belongs to someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OpenAI, a leading player in the artificial intelligence industry, announced ChatGPT&#8217;s voice assistant features a while ago. Within the scope of this feature, voice assistants named Breeze, Cove, Ember, Juniper, and Sky are available to users. However, ChatGPT&#8217;s voice assistant, called Sky, has long been at the center of controversy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people have suggested that this voice belongs to the world-famous actress Scarlett Johansson. Some claims even alleged that OpenAI trained an AI model using Scarlett Johansson&#8217;s original voice to create Sky. OpenAI has now issued a new statement addressing these claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sky&#8217;s claim to be the voice of Scarlett Johansson has been denied<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Scarlett-Johansson-faces-artificial-intelligence-1.webp\" alt=\"Scarlett Johansson Statement from OpenAI\" class=\"wp-image-7851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Scarlett-Johansson-faces-artificial-intelligence-1.webp 1000w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Scarlett-Johansson-faces-artificial-intelligence-1-300x195.webp 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Scarlett-Johansson-faces-artificial-intelligence-1-768x499.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement made today, OpenAI clarified that the allegations do not reflect the truth. OpenAI explained that their voice assistants use completely real people, and Sky is voiced by a professional voice actor. However, the company has not disclosed the identity of the Sky voice actor. Notably, OpenAI acknowledged the similarity between Sky&#8217;s voice and that of Scarlett Johansson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to OpenAI, the voice-over work started in 2023. The company formed partnerships with award-winning directors and producers for this project. OpenAI received over 400 applications during this process and advanced 14 candidates to the second stage, ultimately creating voice assistants with 5 of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><\/a>You may also like this content<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI has clarified claims that the Sky voice in ChatGPT is similar to Scarlett Johansson&#8217;s.
