Looking at the state of technology and its effects on humanity and society, it's hard to envision a bright future over the horizon. The industry has built amazing technologies, sold on promises like 'Organizing the World's Information,' 'Making the World More Open and Connected,' and a place where 'Customers Can Find and Discover Anything They Might Want To Buy,' only to watch those core missions fade and technologies turned against us.
Our quest for knowledge is co-opted to sell us more. Instant access to marketplaces has left us with hollow consumerism, and social media has done more to divide society than unify.
The forerunners of AI claim to be building it 'for the benefit of humanity as a whole.' But as we step into this future, we need to take a step back and observe what is actually going on. Do we see the utopian evolution of humanity? Or do we see a gravitational pull toward centralization, an expansion of surveillance, and a thirst for human obsolescence?
HUGE is growing a team of futurists, technologists, designers, programmers, and artists with a fresh perspective on technology. We're building Devices that empower us, AI that doesn't live in a datacenter, Applications that protect our identity, Algorithms that elevate the human experience, and Networks built on meaningful connections.
HUGE is building products with intentionality, explicitly designed to empower humans and communities, allowing us to separate from the current landscape. We are building technologies we want to use ourselves and feel good giving to the people we care about most. HUGE is building a future worth looking forward to.
