MJRC’s Audio Briefs

Audio Briefs brings you MJRC research and publications in audio format. These briefs are concise audio summaries of reports and studies produced by researchers at MJRC.

The production process is as follows: we begin by summarizing each report into a 2–3 minute script. This script is then reviewed using Grammarly for clarity, grammar, and structure. Once finalized, the content is processed through ElevenLabs to generate AI-powered voice narration.

This series is produced by Mihaela Groza.
