Scarlett Johansson calls out 'misuse of AI' over deepfake Kanye West protest video

13 Feb 2025 Scarlett Johansson has warned about the "misuse of AI" after a deepfake video purported to show her and other Jewish celebrities sending a message of protest to Kanye West. It comes after the rapper recently left the X platform following a tirade of anti-semitic posts, and also sold swaztika T-shirts on his website. In the fake video, Johansson and other stars including David Schwimmer and Jerry Seinfeld were depicted wearing a white T-shirt showing the Star of David on a hand giving a one-finger salute, above the word "Kanye". The US actress said that while she had no time for "hate speech", she was as concerned about the threat of AI making us "risk losing hold on reality". 'Hate speech multiplied by AI'
