Scarlett Johansson reacts to AI video condemning Kanye West antisemitism

Scarlett Johansson has had it with AI.

The “Black Widow” actress, 40, urged the government to limit artificial intelligence in response to a fake viral video that features Johansson and other Jewish celebrities condemning Kanye West’s antisemitism.

The clip, which was reportedly created by Israeli generative AI expert Ori Bejerano, shows more than 20 stars wearing a white T-shirt that has the middle finger flipped off and a Star of David in the middle of the hand with West’s first name right below it.

Johansson denounced the fake footage in a statement to People on Wednesday.

“It has been brought to my attention by family members and friends, that an A.I.-generated video featuring my likeness, in response to an antisemitic view, has been circulating online and gaining traction,” she said.

“I am a Jewish woman who has no tolerance for antisemitism or hate speech of any kind,” the mom of two continued. “But I also firmly believe that the potential for hate speech multiplied by A.I. is a far greater threat than any one person who takes accountability for it. We must call out the misuse of A.I., no matter its messaging, or we risk losing a hold on reality.”

Johansson added, “I have unfortunately been a very public victim of A.I., but the truth is that the threat of A.I. affects each and every one of us.”

“It is terrifying that the U.S. government is paralyzed when it comes to passing legislation that protects all of its citizens against the imminent dangers of A.I,” Johansson said. “I urge the U.S. government to make the passing of legislation limiting A.I. use a top priority; it is a bipartisan issue that enormously affects the immediate future of humanity at large.”

The Post has reached out to Johansson’s rep for comment.

As Johansson mentioned, she’s been a victim of AI before.

Last year, the Oscar nominee called out a ChatGPT voice from Sam Altman’s OpenAI that sounded “eerily similar” to her after the actress turned down an offer from the tech company to use her voice. The speaking voice was ultimately pulled.

The new deepfake footage that features Johansson was shared online after West, 47, sparked outrage for trying to sell swastika shirts on his Yeezy website and spewing hateful views on social media.

Played to a version of the Jewish folk song “Hava Nagila,” the clip includes Drake, Jerry Seinfeld, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Black, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Steven Spielberg, Mila Kunis, Ben Stiller, and David Schwimmer all calling out West with their t-shirts.

The minute-video ends with the AI-generated Sandler giving the middle finger before the message “Enough Is Enough,” cuts in.

Bejerano shared the clip on Instagram and wrote, “It’s time to stop being silent and respond to anti-Semites like Kanye West in the strongest way possible.”

The actual Schwimmer slammed West in an Instagram post over the weekend for his antisemitic behavior.

“I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that he identifies as a Nazi (which implies he wants to exterminate ALL marginalized communities including his own) or the fact that there is not sufficient OUTRAGE to remove and ban him from all social media at this point,” the “Friends” star wrote.

West recently went on a four-day-long rant on X where he praised Adolf Hitler, called himself a Nazi and denied that antisemitism is real. He has since deleted his X account.

Then in an ad that ran during the Super Bowl, West directed viewers to a merch store that offered just one product — a $20 swastika shirt.

The rapper has been dropped by his talent agency over the controversy, while Shopify deleted his Yeezy store selling the antisemitic shirt.

The Anti-Defamation League also condemned West and said in a statement that “there’s no excuse” for his behavior.
