Meta Acquires AI Startup That Generates Human-Sounding Voices: 'Great Match for Our Work'
In the latest chapter in Meta's AI buying and hiring spree, Meta has acquired AI voice cloning startup PlayAI.
Meta confirmed the acquisition to Bloomberg, but didn't state the deal's value. According to an internal memo leaked to Bloomberg, the "entire PlayAI team," around 35 people, will join Meta this week. They will report to Johan Schalkwyk, a former speech AI researcher at Google who recently joined Meta from another AI voice startup called Sesame AI.
