Bert's Bio
I’m Bert Gervais — The Human-First AI Guy, a certified AI specialist passionate about using technology to amplify people, not replace them. I believe the future of innovation lies at the intersection of human connection and artificial intelligence. With more than 100,000 people trained across 40 states, I blend storytelling, music, adult learning theory, and AI-powered creativity to make complex topics like automation, bias, and ethics both engaging and accessible. As a nationally recognized public speaker, AI consultant, and performing artist, I deliver keynotes, workshops, and strategy sessions that show teams how to responsibly integrate AI into recruiting, onboarding, and training—while keeping the human element front and center. Past collaborations include Google, Facebook, and Black Girls Code, where I’ve helped bridge the opportunity divide and increase diversity in tech, and I use culture, creativity, and code to make learning more human and impactful.
