In this Forbes Talks interview, Forbes Associate Editor Alex York talks with Janet Ho, the COO of HumeAI. They discuss Hume AI, an AI company focused on developing empathic AI and speech language models for various applications, particularly voice interfaces. Janet shares her background, which surprisingly wasn't initially tech-focused, and her journey from product management and venture capital to co-founding Hume.
Ho talks about passion as a key part of entrepreneurship, the value of hiring people who are not only skilled but also great communicators and the ethical implications of artificial intelligence.
