Scarlett Johansson takes legal action against AI app using her likeness

An AI image-generating app called Lisa AI used Scarlett Johansson's name and likeness in an online advertisement without permission. The ad featured an old clip of Johansson and an AI-generated voice resembling her promoting the app. Johansson's attorney stated they will pursue all legal remedies, and the ad was removed from the internet. The app is made by Convert Software, which did not respond to a request for comment.
