Join us in the heart of New York City and contribute to our endeavor to ensure that AI is guided by human values, the most pivotal challenge (and opportunity) of the 21st century.
About Us Hume AI is a Series B startup dedicated to building artificial intelligence that is directly optimized for human well-being. We’re gearing up to launch the next generation of Octave and EVI, our foundational speech-language models for voice generation and powering real-time empathic AI assistants for any application. Our models understand and generate subtle tones of voice, word emphasis, and more and the reactions of users. They are rated higher than models by OpenAI and others on empathy, expressiveness, naturalness, and speed, instantly speak with 100K+ unique voices and styles, stream language, emotion, and reasoning – all at once, and are fast enough to feel truly conversational (<300ms latency). Try them at hume.ai . Our goal is to enable a future in which technology draws on an understanding of human emotional expression to better serve human goals. As part of our mission, we also conduct groundbreaking scientific research, publish in leading scientific journals like Nature , and support a non-profit, The Hume Initiative, that has released the first concrete ethical guidelines for empathic AI ( www.thehumeinitiative.org ).
