Company mission

To ensure that artificial intelligence is built to serve human goals and emotional well-being.

Our take

Hume AI was founded by a researcher in semantic space theory - a data-driven, computational approach to emotional science that has been pivotal in the development of artificial intelligence.

The company has developed products that help AI become more emotionally intelligent, effectively fine-tuning everything from digital assistants to online creative tools to respond appropriately to human emotion. To do this, it uses complex measurements to analyse vocal timbre, pitch and facial expressions.

Whilst it's a young company, Hume AI has raised considerable funding thanks to its much-sought-after approach to AI development. There’s a high demand for its product and funding rounds are being used to scale and meet it.
