ElevenLabs, the AI Voice Factory; with Dan Jasnow

In this episode of Technically Creative, we sit down with Dan Jasnow, the Head of IP at ElevenLabs. He sits at the intersection of IP, legal, and policy at ElevenLabs and we talk about what copyright, consent, and control look like in the age of AI. Before joining ElevenLabs, Dan spent over a decade advising companies across media, entertainment, and technology on how to navigate intellectual property in a rapidly changing landscape. Now, he’s on the inside — helping shape how one of the world’s leading AI companies approaches voice, licensing, and responsible deployment. As voice becomes a primary interface for interacting with technology, the stakes are changing. Questions around ownership, authorship, and rights are no longer theoretical — they’re operational. Dan shares what actually goes into building AI systems responsibly, how companies can work directly with rights holders rather than around them, and why many of the fears surrounding AI come from a misunderstanding of how these systems are designed and controlled. Orlando and Dan explore: Why voice may become the dominant interface for AI How ElevenLabs approaches consent, licensing, and control The difference between how AI is perceived and how it actually works What changes when you move from advising AI companies to building inside one The evolving role of copyright and fair use in AI development How regulation is struggling to keep pace with innovation Why trust is becoming a competitive advantage in AI It’s a thoughtful, grounded conversation about IP, responsibility, and the future of human and machine interaction — and what it takes to build powerful technology while maintaining trust with the people it affects.
