French CEO of the Year Awards 2023

5. Most Innovative Cognitive AI Software Development CEO 2023: Mark Pohlmann However, Aeteos never would’ve been able to reach the heights that it finds itself at in the present without the genius of its CEO, Mark Pohlmann. Throughout his PhD studies in Cognitive Psychology, Mark worked for the French National Centre for Scientific Research, and even involved himself in the Computer Science Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence in Paris. Yet, it was in the late 90s that he began working for companies such as Accenture and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, during which he was avidly managing major transformation projects for Fortune 500 companies in EMEA. This eventually led to his first big AI breakthrough in 2016. Unfortunately, in the beginning, AI seemed to be going in the opposite direction during this time. After all, intelligence is derived from human behaviours, and can’t be replicated through code and statistics. The only way to imbue a computer with the intelligence to teach it how to represent knowledge, understand, reason, make decisions, and solve problems is to consider a variety of core knowledge domains. These domains, as explained by Mark, are primarily made up of neurosciences, philosophy, psychology, ergonomics, linguistics, anthropology, and computer sciences. Aeteos, in response, sought to crack the code on bringing warmth to a machine, and eventually taught Percipion™ how to replicate the cognitive process. Percipion™ represents what’s possible should the passion, drive, and dedication of its creator present itself in abundance. Thankfully, Mark knew exactly what he wanted to forge from the very beginning, and gave his all to make it happen. Now, thanks to the brimming talent of Mark’s family, Aeteos was able to create a software completely from scratch, without the presences of any third party libraries of software components. Despite the challenges, Aeteos was committed to ensuring that Percipion™ was wholly reliable, and that clients would have full control over the product throughout usage. Though it was a difficult road, the destination is what we see today – an award-winning product that’s both reliable, and capable of evoking trust within users. Not many AI developers can claim this. We believe Mark puts it best when he says – “Transparency of how data is processed is key, since it is the foundation of the trust people will have while using your software. It can only be achieved when you have full control over your source code.”. It’s clear that Aeteos has placed all of its focus on this reliability, and it truly manifests through Percipion™. Of course, there is always potential to expand – something that Mark is eager to do as he continues on his journey with Percipion™. Only then can he confidently deliver a product that can be used by more and more organisations. But, for now, Percipion™ stands as a testament to the genius of one fantastic CEO, and his equally fantastic family.
