The recent three-hour podcast featuring computer scientist Lex Fridman and Prime Minister Narendra Modi gained widespread attention. Streamed in Hindi, English and even Russian, it has been called the “best dubbing” to date by many. The hyperrealistic AI translations, nearly indistinguishable from the original, were made possible by ElevenLabs, a three-year-old AI startup.
The technology was also deployed to translate Lex’s interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv in English, Ukrainian, and Russian.
While this is not the first time PM Modi has used AI for translation, it was a crucial opportunity for ElevenLabs to showcase its technology by helping world leaders reach a global audience in multiple languages.
