ElevenLabs signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the UK’s DSIT to explore voice AI for public services, accessibility, AI security, and talent development. The work will examine government information access for visually impaired users, older citizens, low-literacy groups, learning differences, and multilingual communities. The company is also expanding in London, moving to a larger HQ and aiming to double UK headcount to 200 this year.
ElevenLabs introduced ElevenLabs for Government, a dedicated initiative for public sector organizations using voice and chat agents. The offering targets resident FAQs, benefits and permit workflows, crisis hotlines, outbound communications, and multilingual public messaging. The company cites deployments with Ukraine, the Czech Republic, and Midland, Texas, emphasizing accessibility, automation, and higher call coverage.
ElevenLabs announced two education-focused initiatives: Impact Program x Professors and an Einstein voice-based learning experience. The professor program offers free Pro-tier access and time-bound student access for courses and projects. The Einstein experience brings his recreated voice to ElevenReader and an AI Agent, letting users listen to or conversationally explore his writings and scientific ideas.
