Meta is in negotiations to acquire Play AI, a startup specializing in voice cloning technology, as part of its efforts to strengthen its artificial intelligence capabilities. According to Bloomberg’s sources, Meta also aims to bring some of Play AI’s employees into its team.
Play AI develops AI technology that can accurately replicate human voices. This technology has broad applications in customer service, virtual assistants, content creation, and more.
The startup has raised $23.5 million in funding and attracted attention from prominent investors.
Meta currently offers AI-powered creative tools such as video editing on its social media platforms. Integrating Play AI’s voice cloning technology would further expand Meta’s voice AI capabilities.
Neither Meta nor Play AI have made official statements regarding the acquisition.
