All Ears has joined the WASP Research Arena Media and Language (WARA M&L) as an industry partner, becoming part of Sweden’s largest research program for AI, autonomous systems, and software (WASP).

Spoken media is one of the fastest-growing sources of information, yet much of it remains difficult to access, analyze, and understand at scale. This collaboration brings together academic research and real-world data to help change that.

Through WARA M&L, All Ears will contribute large-scale spoken media datasets, real-world use cases, and technical expertise to ongoing research in multimodal AI and media analysis. The collaboration aims to accelerate how spoken content can be indexed, interpreted, and used, across both research and industry applications.

All Ears is building the infrastructure for the world’s spoken media, continuously indexing audio and video from sources such as podcasts, web TV, parliamentary broadcasts, and creator-driven platforms like TikTok and YouTube. By transforming this content into structured, searchable data, the company enables greater transparency into conversations that have historically been out of reach.

“Spoken media is one of the fastest-growing sources of information today. Through WARA Media & Language, we look forward to collaborating with leading researchers, contributing insights from real-world spoken media data, and accelerating the development of multimodal AI. This partnership is an important investment in future-critical competence,” says Jonas Lönnquist, CEO of All Ears.

WARA Media & Language is one of several WASP research arenas designed to bridge academia and industry, creating an environment where new technologies can be tested, developed, and applied in real-world contexts.

By joining WARA M&L, All Ears becomes part of a growing ecosystem of researchers, universities, and companies working together to shape the future of AI-driven media and language technologies.
