Hollywood icons of the past take new star turn, with celebrity estates cashing in on AI voice cloning deals
Hollywood icons of the past are making a comeback through AI voice cloning deals with their estates, signaling a shift in how unauthorized AI impersonation concerns are being addressed. ElevenLabs, an audio tech startup, has secured agreements to create AI-generated voices of renowned actors like Burt Reynolds, Judy Garland, James Dean, and Sir Laurence Olivier for their IconicVoices audiobook app. While the AI voice sector faces scrutiny and legal challenges, these estate deals may represent a new, more regulated approach to AI-generated celebrity voices.
ElevenLabs requires about 30 minutes of high-quality audio to create a professional voice clone, synthesized from the celebrity's existing audio catalog.
Users can listen to AI-narrated content within the app but cannot export or use the voices outside the provided material.
The company has implemented safeguards like content moderation, accountability measures, and provisions to mitigate the impact on the 2024 election.
McKinsey shares strategies for managing in the age of GenAI
McKinsey partners Bryan Hancock and Emily Field discuss how generative AI is changing the role of middle managers, emphasizing that while managers remain crucial, organizations must adapt to support them effectively.
Over half of managers' time is spent on non-managerial tasks, leading to high levels of burnout and frustration.
Generative AI has the potential to automate administrative tasks and provide coaching insights, allowing managers to focus on high-value activities.
Organizations should create space for managers, build their resilience, and then invest in leadership development programs tailored to their needs.
Universal Music and Meta Announce ‘Expanded Global Agreement’ for AI, Monetization and More
Universal Music Group and Meta have expanded their global licensing agreement to enhance monetization opportunities and address AI-generated content.
The agreement covers Meta's platforms including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads, allowing users to share UMG's music catalog.
UMG and Meta will work together to tackle unauthorized AI-generated content that could impact artists and songwriters.
The deal builds upon their 2017 partnership and aims to fairly compensate creators while exploring new avenues for music engagement.
