They hired a voice actor for Sky's voice.

If OpenAI loses, does this mean this voice actor cannot do their job any longer, because it happens some other actor has a similar voice?

Could Sky's voice actor sue a movie Johansson works in, because Johannson is copying her voice?

That’s a blatant misunderstanding of how voice acting works. A good voice actor is a vocal chameleon, and can really change their voice for each role.

No, the voice actor didn't do anything wrong

OpenAi might have done something wrong by hiring her with the intention of making a voice model they can leverage Scarlett's fame to market

No. Just as if they hired a writer to do something that made them liable for copyright violation, or an engineer for something that made them liable for patent violation, those workers would not be banned from work.

The violation of right of personality isn't mere similarity of voice.

The Sky voice actress could legitimately lose clients who fear "likeness" litigation, for all Her potential contracts, regardless of context. Your analogy needs work.

This is simply not true. A voice actor doesn’t have to be skilled at changing their voice, especially in this context. Many are hired for their natural voice, like narration. When most film actors do voice acting, they’re just using their voice. They’re not hired for being chameleons.

That’s because film actors are hired to voice act for their fame, not for their skills as voice actors.

OpenAI wanted to imitate the AI from the film Her. When you show that film to 100 random people how many will know who did the voice for the AI in the film? I myself had no idea. Moreover there are people now running blind voice similarly tests of similar voices of various other possible female actors. Guess what these blind voice tests show?

Yes, and another example is that sometimes the “skill” of a voice actor is having pleasing vocal cords. Again, this is why most narrators are hired: they sound good. Not all voice actors are chameleons. It is not a requirement for all voice acting jobs. If you listen to many audio books, you’ll see the voice actors usually have very very poor ability to modulate their voice. Laughably so.
