Why it matters
Many large corporations struggle to transition voice-based AI pilots from the experimental phase to stable production. By combining McKinsey's expertise in organizational change with ElevenLabs' voice technology, the companies seek to lower the barriers to large-scale implementation of voice assistants in customer interactions.
Who is affected?
The partnership is aimed at senior management and customer service organisations within the telecommunications and insurance sectors. Ultimately, it will also impact end-customers who interact with automated voice systems.
Impact on the EU
The partnership is global and includes European enterprises within the telecommunications and insurance sectors. Solutions implemented within the EU must, however, comply with GDPR and the transparency requirements for AI interactions as mandated by the EU AI Act.
What else you should know
The initiative specifically targets the telecommunications and insurance sectors, both of which handle large volumes of repetitive customer support and complex case management workflows.
