A polymath in the age of intelligence.
D. Bernard Webster is an entrepreneur, artist, and AI systems architect who has spent two decades helping founders and institutions translate ambition into operating systems. Today, that work centers on artificial intelligence.
Bernard began his career as an accomplished artist pursuing a doctorate in art education by age 24, before stepping away to teach in the high-needs communities of the South Bronx and Brownsville, Brooklyn.
He went on to raise more than $3.5M in corporate and state funds and received two Congressional TEC Champion Awards for pioneering technology in urban communities.
He has mentored nearly 10,000 entrepreneurs through programs at BlackEnterprise's Small Business University, the MVP Accelerator, and the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at the New York Institute of Technology.
His current focus: helping enterprises and founders design, deploy, and communicate AI systems that are useful, accountable, and human in the outcomes they produce.
