Hume AI, a startup founded by a psychologist who specializes in measuring emotion, gives some top large language models a realistic human voice.
A new “empathic voice interface” launched today by Hume AI, a New York–based startup, makes it possible to add a range of emotionally expressive voices, plus an emotionally attuned ear, to large language models from Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, and OpenAI—portending an era when AI helpers may more routinely get all gushy on us.
“What EVI seems to be doing is assigning emotional valence and arousal values , and then modulating the speech of the agent accordingly,” he says. “It is a very interesting twist on LLMs.” Salah says Hume’s technology could prove useful in marketing, as well as for mental health therapy. However he notes that people often disguise their true emotions or change their affect during an interaction, making it difficult for AI systems to pick up on their true feelings accurately.
