Description

Chris Gagne manages AI research at Hume, which just released an expressive text-to-speech model in a super impressive demo. Chris and Daniel discuss AI and emotional understanding:

  • How does “prosody” add a dimension to human communication? What is Hume hoping to gain by adding it to Human-AI communication?
  • Do we want to interact with AI like we interact with humans? Or should the interaction models be different?
  • Are we entering the Uncanny Valley phase of emotionally intelligent AI?
  • Do LLMs actually have the ability to reason about emotions? Does it matter?
  • What do we risk, by empowering AI with emotional understanding? Are there risks from deception and manipulation? Or even a loss of human agency?
