Spotify Partners with ElevenLabs to Expand AI Audiobook Narration

Spotify is expanding its AI audiobook offerings through a new partnership with ElevenLabs. ElevenLabs offers AI voices as a cost-effective alternative to traditional studio recording, enabling authors to produce professional-sounding audiobooks. While Spotify already supports AI-narrated audiobooks via Findaway Voices, this new collaboration broadens accessibility. The move raises questions about the impact on voice actors and copyright issues related to AI model training.
