ElevenLabs AI Clones Classic Actors' Voices

ElevenLabs, an AI voice-cloning software company, is resurrecting voices of deceased Hollywood stars like Judy Garland, James Dean, and Burt Reynolds to read audiobooks, with approvals from the late actors' estates. The company's Reader app allows users to listen to text using these AI-generated voices. While some find this technology fascinating, it has also raised concerns about ethical implications, especially after instances like a fake robocall from President Joe Biden created using similar AI. ElevenLabs' partnerships with iconic actors' estates highlight the growing trend of AI recreating voices, sparking both excitement and ethical debates in the industry.
