Reality Defender Partners with Hume AI to Advance Responsible Voice AI

We are excited to announce a strategic partnership with Hume AI, the pioneering research lab building emotionally intelligent AI systems that serve human well-being. This collaboration comes on the heels of both companies successfully launching their respective APIs — Reality Defender's deepfake detection API and Hume's Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) API — marking a significant step forward in making AI more beneficial while improving Reality Defender's industry-leading detection models.

Through this data partnership, Reality Defender will gain early access to Hume's cutting-edge voice AI models, enabling us to generate comprehensive datasets that assist in refining, iterating on, and improving our audio models against the latest developments in synthetic voice technology. This proactive approach ensures our platform stays ahead of emerging threats while supporting Hume's mission to make AI more inclusive and beneficial to humanity.

A Shared Vision for Responsible AI

Our partnership with Hume represents a convergence of complementary missions. While Hume AI focuses on building emotionally intelligent systems that enhance human well-being, Reality Defender works to enable trust in an AI-first world. Together, our teams are collaboratively creating a framework where advanced voice AI can flourish safely — where innovation doesn't come at the cost of security or trust.

For Reality Defender, early access to Hume's models means our detection systems can continue to anticipate and prepare for next-generation voice synthesis techniques before they reach widespread deployment, while helping build in advanced detection capabilities to current and future models. This proactive stance is crucial in an environment where synthetic media capabilities evolve rapidly and malicious actors constantly seek new exploitation methods.

For Hume AI, partnering with Reality Defender reinforces their commitment to ethical AI development. By working directly with the industry's leading deepfake detection platform, Hume ensures their groundbreaking voice technology contributes to human advancement rather than deception or harm.

A Model for Industry Collaboration

This partnership with Hume AI represents more than a technical collaboration — it's a declaration that the future of AI will be built on trust, not deception. As synthetic voices become indistinguishable from human speech, and as AI systems grow more emotionally sophisticated, the stakes have never been higher.

By combining Hume's vision for emotionally intelligent AI with Reality Defender's commitment to enabling trust everywhere, we're not just preparing for the future of voice technology; we're actively shaping it. Because in an AI-powered world, the most human technology must also be the most verifiable. We're fortunate to have found a partner who shares this commitment.
