The relationship between Hollywood and AI has been variable, with concerns regarding its guardrails contributing to previous Hollywood strikes. Some artists have since embraced AI technology.
Last year, Meta introduced voice assistants for Meta AI featuring voices resembling actresses Kristen Bell and Judi Dench. ElevenLabs will translate Matthew McConaughey’s newsletter into Spanish audio using his AI voice; McConaughey is an investor in ElevenLabs.
ElevenLabs also announced the launch of a marketplace this week, enabling brands to utilize authorized AI-generated celebrity voices. This marketplace will feature Caine, Liza Minnelli, and Dr. Maya Angelou. ElevenLabs, identified as an AI unicorn company, has investors including a16z and ICONIQ.
