I’ve spent my life building systems. Now I build ones that make us more human.

Moral architect. Futurist. Technologist. Theologian.
Jason Alan Snyder writes and speaks at the intersection of ethics, invention, identity, and time.

Jason began his career at the dawn of the Internet, building interfaces that scaled globally. He invented the first 2D mobile barcodes, helped create the mobile ad systems used by billions today, and co-invented the Luci Lantern - a symbol of dignity now used by 5 million+ people.

But the real story isn’t the systems he built. It’s what those systems revealed.

From Catholic theology to AI ethics, Jason’s work is grounded in one truth: we were never meant to be optimized. He helps us reclaim the parts of ourselves that technology forgot - through design, story, and friction.

From Systems That Scaled to Frameworks That Feel

Jason Alan Snyder has spent over two decades at the intersection of technology, ethics, and human experience. As the former Global Chief Technology Officer at Momentum Worldwide (IPG), he led global innovation for some of the world’s most influential brands. He went on to found SuperTruth, a data provenance and authorship rights platform that challenges how identity is handled in AI systems.

Snyder is also the co-founder of Artists & Robots, an independent innovation consultancy and creative intelligence studio built to amplify human creativity in an AI-powered world. The company blends adaptive intelligence systems with human imagination to design experiences and solutions that feel alive, responsive, ethical, and unmistakably human.

Artists & Robots operates as a natural extension of Snyder’s broader body of work. Where SuperTruth strengthens the integrity layer for data and intelligence, Artists & Robots explores the expressive and experiential layers, how brands, creators, and organizations can innovate with technology to preserve authorship, agency, and emotional truth. As an innovation consultancy, the studio helps clients navigate emerging technologies, build adaptive systems, and shape the future of their experiential and strategic capabilities.

Snyder is establishing Artists & Robots as a new model for creative and strategic innovation, one in which clean signals, intelligent systems, and human judgment converge to create meaningful, adaptive, and enduring brand experiences.

Earlier in his career, Jason co-invented the Luci Lantern - a solar-powered light now used by more than five million people around the world. Recognized for its humanitarian impact, it remains a symbol of what ethical design can do.

A regular contributor to Forbes, The Drum, and AI Journal, Jason writes on topics like authorship, automation, and moral design. He’s also a sought-after speaker and thought leader, with appearances at the United Nations, Milken Global Conference, 4As, and World Summit AI, where he brings a rare blend of systems thinking and soul.

Why I Write, Speak, and Build

I don’t believe we’re here to resist the future. I believe we’re here to shape it.

I write and build because I’ve seen what happens when we let speed replace meaning, and when systems start speaking louder than souls. This work is about returning to the parts of ourselves that still remember how to feel - and offering frameworks that help us stay awake, aware, and human in the face of automation.

What I Believe

  • Friction isn’t failure. It’s form.

  • Identity is authored - not output.

  • Design is a moral act.

  • Struggle isn’t a glitch. It’s where meaning lives.

  • We’re not here to be optimized - we’re here to be whole.
