This keynote and live demo by ElevenLabs highlights the explosive growth of Audio AI, arguing that speech will become the primary interface between humans and technology. The session demonstrates voice cloning efficiency, universal audio content, automatic translation/dubbing, and live conversational AI with remarkably low latency. The presentation addresses ethical concerns around voice IP compensation and safety gating for sensitive applications.

Key Highlights: ✅ The Audio Revolution: 80%+ of internet traffic is now video and audio. AI must be able to “hear” and “speak” to remain relevant in this content-dominated landscape. ✅ Voice Cloning Efficiency: Modern AI needs less than one minute of audio to create accurate voice clones, democratizing audio content creation across languages and use cases. ✅ The Three Pillars: (1) Universal Audio—all content available in audio format; (2) Universal Language—language barriers eroding through automatic dubbing/translation; (3) Speech as Interface—humans will stop typing and start talking to machines. ✅ The Aristotle Demo: Live demonstration of an AI agent (“Aristotle”) conversing with low latency, holding philosophical and contextual conversations that showcase voice agents’ potential. ✅ Ethical Voice IP: ElevenLabs emphasizes voice owner compensation when their clones are used, addressing major ethical/legal concerns in the industry.

💬 Why Watch? Essential for content creators, product designers, and business leaders preparing for the speech-first interface revolution. This session reveals how audio AI will transform everything from content consumption to human-computer interaction. Learn about the technical capabilities, ethical frameworks, and business applications of voice AI that will reshape digital experiences.

📌 Notable Insights:

Speech is humanity’s most natural communication form, yet digital interfaces have forced text-based interaction—this is finally changing.

The “gating” of probability: To make voice agents safe for banking or government, probabilistic AI actions (conversation) are “gated” by deterministic checks before sensitive actions (like refunds or payments) are executed.

Voice IP compensation models create ethical frameworks that protect voice actors and original speakers while enabling innovation.

Low-latency conversational AI creates natural dialogue experiences that feel genuinely interactive rather than robotic.

About the GenAI Summit:

Over 5,000 GenAI builders, technology executives, and political and business leaders convened on November 24 at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center for the 4th GenAI Summit, organized by 100mentors. Under the theme “From Chatbots to Agents,” the Summit captured the evolution of GenAI: from simple Q&A systems to autonomous platforms that plan and execute complex tasks. European product “premieres” and participation from leading international companies cemented the GenAI Summit’s position as Southeast Europe’s most influential artificial intelligence conference. Founded in 2023, GenAI Summit has established itself as Southeast Europe’s most influential AI event. It convenes researchers, entrepreneurs, and government leaders shaping GenAI’s future, connecting scientific research with practical implementation across enterprises and organizations.
