Synthetic speech is no longer the stuff of science fiction. From audiobooks and dubbing to gaming and avatars, AI-generated voice is breaking into the mainstream. Mati Staniszewski, CEO and co-founder of ElevenLabs, is helping lead the charge. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, he will take the stage to talk about what it takes to make voice AI truly human.
ElevenLabs has quickly become a key player in the generative AI space, known for pushing the boundaries of synthetic voice technology. In this session, Mati will explore how ElevenLabs built a platform that can replicate natural speech with remarkable nuance and realism. He will also discuss why that achievement opens the door to new possibilities across entertainment, accessibility, education, and creative storytelling.
