Humma.AI

At Humma, we are grateful to all the people who are genuinely doing good work. Many companies, organizations, and leaders are achieving their goals. We appreciate all we learned as part of the accelerator with RevHubOC - The Orange County Center for Innovation & Social Enterprise—and specifically Juan Carrillo's leadership as a growing voice in the field doing fine work informed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We're also learning from Dante Gonzales, our first fellow with West Los Angeles College Climate Center and the California Youth Leadership Corp. He's helping us develop our explainable AI framework and community engagement strategy. A new virtuous flywheel is in the making. Shout out the #UN #SDG #Goals you are achieving! #grateful #UNSDG #UNSDGs #shoutout

The Beginning of Big Tech's End: Why Humma.AI is the Future Imagine it: the once-mighty titans of Big Tech—those who promised to connect the world—are now stumbling under the weight of their excess. The Wired article "The Beginning of the End of Big Tech" reads less like a prediction and more like a prophecy fulfilled. The centralized, profit-at-all-costs model is giving way to something better, something more human. At Humma.AI, we saw this coming. As Co-Founder and CEO, I’ve spent countless hours thinking about the fundamental flaws in a system where algorithms profit from addiction, data extraction is the norm, and the voices of the marginalized are drowned out or worse. What we’ve built is a direct response to the world Big Tech created—a rejection of its priorities and an embrace of something radically different. Humma.AI isn’t just another tech platform. It’s a privacy-forward, empathy-driven social network, and marketplace powered by the community, not by corporate greed. Instead of extracting value from people, we’re giving them control—control over their data, control over the AI they help train, and, most importantly, a share in the value they create. The article validates our mission. It underscores what we’ve always known: the world is ready for a new kind of tech, one that works with people, not against them. Big Tech's end may be near, but the beginning of something better is already here. The future belongs to platforms that are built on empathy, transparency, and trust. The future belongs to all of us. Let’s build it together. Desmond Patton Vilmarie Rodriguez, LCSW Scott Wiener Melissa C. Potter Catherine Mikkelsen Tiffany Caldas Bryan M.
