Morgan Freeman calls out 'unauthorized' use of AI replicating his voice in a TikTok video

Morgan Freeman, 87, has criticized a TikTok video that uses artificial intelligence to imitate his voice. The video, shared by a TikTok account called "Justine's Camera Roll," features a woman pretending to be Freeman's niece, with an AI-generated voiceover mimicking Freeman's iconic baritone. The actor expressed his disapproval on social media, thanking his fans for their support in calling out the unauthorized use of an AI voice imitating him.

Freeman is not the first celebrity to have his voice mimicked by AI without consent. Earlier this year, AI-generated deepfake photos of Taylor Swift went viral, and Scarlett Johansson criticized a new ChatGPT feature from OpenAI for using a voice that sounded similar to hers. In a follow-up video, the creator of the Freeman video defended her actions, saying she was just having fun and that it was an obvious joke.
