\t\t\t\t\tExample of a template from ElevenLabs that can generate Stan Lee\u2019s likeness.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tElevenLabs<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\u201cStan always believed in meeting his fans where they were: in the pages of a comic, at a convention, or in a quick on-screen cameo,\u201d Chaz Rainey, a lawyer and board member for Stan Lee Universe, said in a statement. \u201cThis partnership is a way of continuing that. Fans have always told us that when they read his comics, they hear the words in Stan\u2019s voice, and now, thanks to ElevenLabs, we can make that a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe Lee partnership comes as celebrities \u2014\u00a0and, for those who\u2019ve passed, their estates \u2014\u00a0experiment with how their likenesses are licensed for AI-related material. Other actors and personalities whose voices and likenesses<\/a> are available through ElevenLabs include include Michael Caine, Judy Garland, Burt Reynolds, David Hasselhoff and Albert Einstein. Separately, Val Kilmer\u2019s estate also recently allowed<\/a> the upcoming film \u201cAs Deep as the Grave\u201d to use his image and voice to create an AI-generated version of him to lead the movie despite his 2025 death. \u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cAs producers, we are used to bringing very different people to the same table to solve hard problems, and that is exactly what this moment requires,\u201d Lori McCreary, who co-founded production company Revelations with Morgan Freeman, said in a statement. \u201cTechnology companies and the entertainment industry need to work together to create AI systems that respect consent, protect name, image, and likeness rights, and preserve the value of human creativity. If we do that well, we won\u2019t just keep up with technology, we will help shape it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tElevenLabs\u2019 Lee partnership also will see the company launch a new series, \u201cStan Lee Book Club of the Month,\u201d through Eleven Reader that will use Lee\u2019s voice to narrate a different book every month. June\u2019s selection is Robert Louis Stevenson\u2019s \u201cTreasure Island,\u201d and ElevenLabs plans to add a new title in the public domain every month to commemorate Lee\u2019s love for books<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWith great power comes great responsibility,\u201d Lee\u2019s replicated voice says in the video. \u201cExcelsior!\u201d<\/p>\n \n
