Meta Acquires Voice Startup Play AI

Meta has acquired Play AI, a startup developing voice artificial intelligence technologies. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Meta, in an internal memo acquired by Bloomberg announcing the deal, said that Play AI's "work in creating natural voices, along with a platform for easy voice creation, is a great match for our work and road map, across AI Characters, Meta AI, Wearables, and audio content creation."

The integration of PlayAI's technology is expected to accelerate Meta's development in voice recognition and natural language processing.
