Emotional voice intelligence company Hume AI announced a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Google. Seizing this opportunity, Google poached Hume AI's CEO Alan Cowen and approximately seven engineers. These talents will join Google's DeepMind team to assist in integrating voice and emotional technologies into its cutting-edge models. Hume AI stated that it will continue to provide technologies to other leading AI labs. The new CEO, Andrew Ettinger, believes that voice will become the primary user interface for AI, and the company also plans to release its latest model in the coming months. This contract falls under 'acqui-hiring.' The Chair of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has previously stated that such transactions will be subject to review.
