Jerry Garcia's Voice Revived Through AI for Audiobooks and More

The Grateful Dead icon's estate collaborates with ElevenLabs to recreate his voice in 32 languages for diverse audio experiences.

Jerry Garcia's voice has been digitally recreated by ElevenLabs in partnership with his estate, allowing fans to hear him read various texts.
The AI-generated voice is available in 32 languages and can be used for audiobooks, articles, poetry, and more through the ElevenReader app.
Keelin Garcia, Jerry's daughter, highlights the project as a continuation of her father's legacy of embracing new technologies.
Future projects may include using Garcia's voice for narrated documentaries and audio art exhibits via the Jerry Garcia Foundation.
This initiative is part of a broader trend of using AI to revive the voices of deceased artists, as seen with John Lennon and Edith Piaf.
