Meet Nico Perony

Nico Perony

Artificial Intelligence Specialist (Business Consulting)

I'm an AI researcher and behavioral scientist, currently serving as Chief Technology Officer at Nfinite, where we're building the generative infrastructure for the Physical AI revolution.

Previously, I led AI Research at Unity, overseeing multiple applied research teams working on cutting-edge applications of Generative AI within the Unity ecosystem. Before that, I co-founded and served as CTO of OTO, a startup focused on using AI to enable safer, more empathetic communication in digital environments. OTO was acquired by Unity in 2021.

My academic background is in electrical engineering and behavioral science. I earned my doctorate at ETH Zurich, where I also completed postdoctoral research focused on complex social systems and collective behavior. Over the years, I’ve authored highly cited scientific publications, written two books, co-founded three companies and one NGO, and spoken on global stages including TED and TEDx.

I'm passionate about building technology that matters—solutions that are ethical, impactful, and scalable. I believe AI, especially in its generative form, represents a transformative opportunity to build a safer, more creative, and more equitable future.
