Conneau co-created the voice mode capability on OpenAI's GPT-4o model, which when released earlier this year showed off the capability to respond in real time with no delay, as well as handle interruptions - both hallmarks of realistic conversations that had to date eluded AI voice assistants. OpenAI's launch of GPT-4o became controversial when Johansson accused the startup of copying her voice in the movie. OpenAI said the voice was not an imitation of Johansson and that the company used a different voice actress.
