Jonathan Erikson
An A Priori Ordinary Man...
Jonathan Erikson is a genius inventor. He is no less sensitive, empathetic, and altruistic. Born in Sweden in 1982 into a simple and loving family, he leads a normal and peaceful life.
A unique gift of understanding: Jonathan possesses a rare innate ability to easily understand how anything works. His philosophy is simple: “When I encounter a problem, I find a solution.”
The creator of Zara: A brilliant engineer, he is the father of Zara, the first artificial intelligence capable of reasoning and learning with human-like sensitivity, in the early 2000s.
... But an Exceptional One
Founder of Stareyes: He built a global technological empire whose name and logo are inspired by the star-shaped iris of his heterochromatic eyes, one of his most distinctive physical traits.
An idealist facing the world: Jonathan is guided by a deep altruistic vision, illustrated by Rabelais’ quote: “Science without conscience is but the ruin of the soul.” He prefers innovation and research over political and financial games, leaving the day-to-day management of his company to his friend and partner Josh Chakramorty.
A passionate temperament: Although a humanist, he sometimes struggles to channel his emotions and can easily become angry when faced with injustice and corruption, which often puts him at odds with established world powers. With incredible courage and boundless will, he will do everything in his power to achieve his goals, the most important of which is: to do good.
