OpenAI's recent endeavor to imbue its ChatGPT with a human-like voice has sparked both excitement and controversy within Hollywood. Last May 2023, when the artificial intelligence company issued a casting call for its secret project, the criteria seemed straightforward: nonunion actors, aged 25 to 45, with warm, engaging, and charismatic voices. However, what wasn't explicitly requested, according to insider interviews and documents shared with The Washington Post, was a replica of actress Scarlett Johansson's voice.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) takes center stage, advocating for digital innovation as a cornerstone for an inclusive and sustainable future. As the world commemorates World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD), ITU's mission to bridge the digital divide and foster innovation resonates more profoundly than ever. This year, the spotlight is on “digital innovation” to shape a more inclusive and sustainable future.
