What was said
"ElevenLabs, their go-to British voice is me. 1,000% being trained on me. We emailed them. We emailed ElevenLabs a year ago and said, hey, this is fucking Chris. You've used Chris's voice. And they said, oh, we've done a test and it's come back at 0.3 similarity and it needs to be above 0.65."
Chris Williamson discovered that AI voice company ElevenLabs appears to have trained their default British voice on his podcast recordings without permission, and the company is now being used by third parties to create advertisements in his voice. Despite sending cease-and-desist notices, ElevenLabs claims their similarity testing shows insufficient overlap. Huberman suggested legal action, noting that voice, face, and name constitute protected likeness rights.
