ElevenLabs to expand in California creating 173 jobs

ElevenLabs is significantly expanding its operations in California by hiring 173 individuals across high-paying roles in research, engineering, sales, and other functions, supported by an incentive from the California Competes Tax Credit program. This expansion aims to strengthen the state's reputation as a hub for artificial intelligence, particularly in voice and audio AI, and to support various businesses across the state, including collaborations with companies like MasterClass and Meta. The company is also deepening its collaboration with California in public services and AI safety, working to make government information more accessible and participating in efforts to counter tech-enabled fraud. This move is part of ElevenLabs' broader strategy to grow alongside communities worldwide, with ongoing investments and partnerships in regions such as New York, the United Kingdom, Greece, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic, emphasizing the importance of responsible AI development and public service accessibility.
