Community Feedback on AI Technology: Paid Focus Group

During this two-hour session, Humma.AI will introduce participants to the basics of GenAI and the emerging AI “agents,” which are quickly becoming the future of the web. Most importantly, we’ll present the Humma.AI prototype, a platform dedicated to building Empathetic AI designed by and for our communities.

Humma.AI is committed to engaging diverse voices, particularly those who have faced systemic discrimination, including Black, Indigenous, and people of color, trans and queer individuals, and disabled community members. High participation is crucial in helping us create AI that genuinely reflects and serves everyone. If you or someone in your network might be interested, we’d love to have you join us!

Each participant will receive a $50 cash gift card. 

We’re hosting English and Spanish-language focus groups.

About Humma.AI

We bridge the empathy gap.

We are a California Benefit Corporation that is launching a new culturally competent social network and marketplace. Think of it as a merging of Instagram, threads, and Reddit communities with a marketplace. At the heart of Humma.AI is a virtuous cycle that drives the creation of value and the redemption of value through the curation and training of Empathetic AI™ to create safety, authentic connection, and value for all users. We envision an empathetic and more prosperous world defined by an inclusive community. 

Core Values

• Dignity: We are free to be ourselves without fear.

• Representation: We are invited to the big round table.

• Empathy: We see you and validate everyone’s feelings, even if we disagree.

• Decentralized: We create safety, cultural competence, and collective action. 

• Virtuous cycle: We give and receive and repeat sustainability.

The Challenge: Traditional big tech solutions often exacerbate biases and toxicity in AI. Nonprofits have yet to scale up to address these issues.

Our Solution: A company that gives back more than it takes. The days of big tech owning our data and experience (and controlling our safety) are over. The future starts with Humma.AI, and our journey begins with a story.
