Adam Hocek
Founder and CEO of Aecho
In the race to create more powerful artificial intelligence, something essential has been left behind—the ability to understand how we feel. While AI systems can process our words with remarkable accuracy, they remain blind to our emotions, deaf to the subtle variations in our voice that signal anxiety, excitement, or distress. Adam Hocek recognized this critical gap and set out to solve it. At Aecho, he’s pioneering technology that enables AI to hear not just what we say, but how we say it—reading between the lines of human communication in ways that could transform our relationship with technology.
