ElevenLabs and Reality Defender Partner On AI Safety Initiatives

We partnered with Reality Defender, a cybersecurity company specializing in deepfake detection, to advance the development of audio deepfake detection models.

The partnership aims to provide enhanced protection against audio deepfakes by leveraging our proprietary models and methods to improve the efficacy and robustness of Reality Defender's detection tools. This will enable Reality Defender's clients, including governments and international enterprises, to detect and prevent AI-generated threats in real time, safeguarding millions from misinformation and sophisticated fraud.

The collaboration builds upon our existing initiatives to ensure the responsible development and transparent use of audio AI, through moderation and accountability, including the use of technical means to prevent generation of prohibited content and identify bad actors.
