San Francisco-based voice artificial intelligence startup, Resemble AI, announced on Wednesday that it has secured $8 million in a funding round. Leading the investment is Javelin Ventures, accompanied by Comcast Ventures, Craft Ventures, and Ubiquity Ventures, who are all existing investors. The company boasts 1 million users who utilize its product to clone their own voice, while over 200 business clients, including music producers, game studios, and voice actors, also rely on Resemble AI. Zohaib Ahmed, the CEO, emphasized the company’s commitment to promoting the safe and ethical use of voice cloning technology and unveiled a new product to identify AI-generated audio.
As the demand for voice cloning rises, so does the potential for scams and other criminal activities. With this in mind, Resemble AI recognizes the importance of prioritizing ethical considerations. “We want to make AI tools available to more people, but we also acknowledge that we can’t talk about AI without talking about ethics,” commented Ahmed.
The newly secured funding will undoubtedly facilitate the development and expansion of Resemble AI’s offerings. The company’s mission is clear: to democratize AI technology while upholding ethical standards. With Javelin Ventures at the forefront of this investment, Resemble AI is well-positioned for future success in the voice AI arena.
