Hume AI is seeking an individual with engineering and writing experience to advance our core mission: using the world's most advanced technology for emotion understanding to build empathy and goal alignment into AI.

Ready to apply Before you do, make sure to read all the details pertaining to this job in the description below.About UsHume AI is dedicated to building artificial intelligence that is directly optimized for human well-being. We have just raised a Series B funding round and launched a new flagship product, an empathic AI assistant that can be built into any application.Where other AI companies see only words, our API can see (and hear) the other half of human communication: subtle tones of voice, word emphasis, facial expression, and more, along with the reactions of listeners. These behaviors reveal our preferences—whether we find things interesting or boring; satisfying or frustrating; funny, eloquent, or dubious. We call learning from these signals “reinforcement learning from human expression” (RLHE). AI models trained with RLHE can serve as better question answerers, copywriters, tutors, call center agents, and more, even in text-only interfaces.Our goal is to enable a future in which technology draws on an understanding of human emotional expression to better serve human goals. As part of our mission, we also conduct groundbreaking scientific research, publish in leading scientific journals like Nature , and support a non-profit, The Hume Initiative, that has released the first concrete ethical guidelines for empathic AI (www.thehumeinitiative.org ). You can learn more about us on our website (https://hume.ai/ ) and read about us in Axios

In this role, you will create content that helps developers understand the role of emotional intelligence in AI, imagine the future of AI interfaces, and integrate our API into wide-ranging applications.
