If AI doesn’t pan out, Sam Altman might have a second stint in his future. The CEO of OpenAI has made quite a few enemies for himself as the head of the world leader in generative AI, including (briefly) his own board and none other than A-list actress Scarlett Johansson. The latter, known for her decade-long stint as Marvel hero the Black Widow, figures Altman could fit into the universe.
When asked by The New York Times' Maureen Dowd if Altman would make a good villain, she said, "I guess he would — maybe with a robotic arm.” Johansson’s comments regarding Altman come against the backdrop of a contentious relationship between the two figures, surrounding the alleged nonconsensual usage of her image.
