Episode 14 Love and the Future of Dating | The Feelings Lab
Published on Feb 22, 2022
Join Hume AI CEO, Dr. Alan Cowen, and the President of Tawkify, Kellie Ammerman, with host Matt Forte as they discuss “Love and the Future of Dating.” Amid the pandemic, more people have turned to dating apps in search of meaningful relationships. In a world where AI curates our matches, is it possible for algorithms to optimize for deeper connections over shallow attractions? Perhaps a combination of AI and human matchmakers is necessary to help people find love more easily in this ever-changing landscape of dating.
AI is deciding who we date. Is it making the right decisions? Tawkify President Kellie Ammerman discusses the AI algorithms that currently drive dating apps. Hint: they have a lot in common with the algorithms behind Netflix, Twitter, and Facebook.
Later, Dr. Alan Cowen and Kellie Ammerman reflect on the importance of compatibility in relationships, and what the research tells us about successful (and unsuccessful) pairings.
Can technology create more love in the world? Hume AI CEO Dr. Alan Cowen discusses what it would take to develop the ideal dating app, optimized for deeper connections.

We’re introducing Voice Control, a novel interpretability-based method that brings precise control to AI voice customization without the risks of voice cloning. Our tool gives developers control over 10 voice dimensions, labeled “masculine/feminine,” “assertiveness,” “buoyancy,” “confidence,” “enthusiasm,” “nasality,” “relaxedness,” “smoothness,” “tepidity,” and “tightness.” Unlike prompt-based approaches, Voice Control enables continuous adjustments along these dimensions, allowing for precise control and making voice modifications reproducible across sessions.

How EverFriends.ai uses empathic AI for eldercare
To truly connect with users and provide a natural, empathic experience, EverFriends.ai needed an AI solution capable of understanding and responding to emotional cues. They found their answer in Hume's Empathic Voice Interface (EVI). EVI merges generative language and voice into a single model trained specifically for emotional intelligence, enabling it to emphasize the right words, laugh or sigh at appropriate times, and much more, guided by language prompting to suit any particular use case.
