ElevenLabs to bring voice AI to UK public services

ElevenLabs has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology to explore the use of voice AI in enhancing public services, improving AI security, and strengthening the UK's position as a global leader in voice and audio AI. The collaboration aims to make government information more accessible, particularly for individuals with visual impairments, low literacy, learning differences, and diverse linguistic backgrounds. Additionally, the partnership will focus on AI security research and fostering AI talent in the UK. ElevenLabs is expanding its UK operations, doubling its staff, and moving into a larger London headquarters to support this initiative and collaborate with UK businesses like Revolut and Deliveroo. The company already partners with UK healthcare and educational institutions to provide AI voice technology and support various public service projects in countries like Ukraine, the Czech Republic, and Greece.
