Google DeepMind is hiring the CEO and several top engineers from Hume AI, a startup working on emotionally intelligent voice interfaces, as part of a new licensing agreement.The deal is the latest sign that AI companies expect voice mode to become an increasingly important interface for interacting with customers—and that understanding a user’s emotions and mood based on their voice interactions is key. Hume AI has invested millions in developing models and tools to hone realistic voice interfaces and to detect emotions in the voices of users. The company trains its models by having experts annotate emotional cues in real conversations. At Google, Cowen and his colleagues will help the tech giant integrate voice and emotion technology into its frontier models. What is your take on Google acquisition of CEO?
