As reported by TechCrunch, in January 2026, Google DeepMind, through a licensing deal, brought on board Alan Cowen, the founder and CEO of voice AI firm Hume AI, along with roughly seven key engineers. The aim was to enhance the voice - interaction capabilities of Gemini. Hume AI is well - known for its "empathetic voice interface" technology, which has the ability to discern user emotions via intonation. This partnership isn't a full - fledged acquisition. Google has merely secured non - exclusive rights to utilize Hume AI's intellectual property. Meanwhile, Hume AI will maintain its independent operations and continue to offer services to other AI companies.
