In 2021, Dr. Alan Cowen, a former Google researcher and a leader in the field of affective science, embarked on a bold mission: to humanize artificial intelligence by integrating emotional understanding into its very fabric. His vision for Hume AI was born out of his profound work in psychology and emotion research, which underscored the critical role emotions play in human decision-making and well-being. Named after the Scottish philosopher David Hume, the company reflects his philosophical outlook that emotions drive human choice and happiness. Hume AI's goal? To ensure that AI not only serves human goals but also caters to our emotional well-being.
