ElevenLabs clamps down on political voice clones
ElevenLabs just introduced new safeguards to prevent its AI voice tech from meddling in the 2024 elections. The company rolled out a "no-go voices" safeguard that blocks users from mimicking active political candidates, starting with US and UK races, and explicitly outlawed political robocalls and impersonation chatbots. Why it matters: With critical elections taking place worldwide, the pressure is on AI voice platforms to curb convincing deepfakes before they derail voter trust.
