In the room, not on a screen
Every workshop is delivered in person. People ask the awkward question in a room and never ask it on a webinar — and the awkward question is usually the important one.
Institute / About
An AI institute that had to be built here
Bermuda is 21 square miles, 640 miles from the nearest coastline, and running an economy that competes with London and New York. Off-island training built for somewhere else was never going to fit.
Why we exist
Capability has to be local to compound
The Bermuda Clarity Institute was founded in 2021 — more than a year before ChatGPT arrived — to give the island's companies a serious route to AI capability without flying anyone anywhere.
Flown-in seminars and imported webinars share a problem: they teach general principles to a general audience and leave. Nothing accumulates, nobody local gets better at teaching it, and the examples never quite match the work. An island economy cannot run its AI capability as a series of visits.
Being early mattered. By the time generative AI landed in ordinary offices at the end of 2022, the institute had already been teaching Bermudian teams for a year and knew which explanations worked in a room full of sceptical executives. More than a thousand employees have been through the workshops since.
So the institute set out to do three things at once: teach practitioners directly, in person, on their own material; build a curriculum specific to Bermuda's industries; and put that curriculum inside a Bermudian institution so it outlives any one course. That last part became the Foundations in Artificial Intelligence programme with Bermuda College.
How we deliver
We come to your boardroom
We do not run a training lab of our own, and we are not looking to. Sessions happen where the work happens.
A team learns AI fastest in the room it already makes decisions in, on the documents already open on its screens, with the people it already argues with about priorities. Moving everyone to a neutral classroom strips out exactly the context that makes the training stick.
So Custom Team Workshops are delivered onsite, in your own boardroom, anywhere on island. Open-enrolment workshops and the Foundations certificate run at Bermuda College, through a partnership we value enormously. For a team session, all we need is a room with power and a screen, and laptops in the room. We bring everything else.
How we teach
Six rules we don't break
These are the constraints that make the training work. They also explain why we cap numbers and charge what we charge.
Your material, not a demo data set
Participants work on real tasks from their own desks. A polished demo teaches nothing about the messy document you actually have to summarise on Thursday.
Something finished before we leave
Every session ends with a built thing: a workflow, an analysis, an assistant. Proof beats persuasion, and it means the value does not depend on follow-through.
Governance taught alongside capability
Teaching a team to move fast on AI without telling them what is safe to upload creates a new risk. Data handling is part of every session, not an appendix.
One senior trainer, every session
Our lead trainer delivers every workshop himself. There is no bench of juniors working from a deck, which limits how much we can run — deliberately.
Rewritten constantly
The tools change every few months. Material that was accurate last quarter gets cut, and the curriculum is revised rather than reprinted.
Who teaches
Three people, and no bench behind them
The same people who design the curriculum are the ones standing in front of it.
Aaron Smith
Lead Trainer
Aaron has led training delivery at the institute for three years, teaches every workshop personally, and is a certified AI trainer. His work spans open-enrolment workshops, custom corporate sessions in client boardrooms and the Certificate in AI at Bermuda College — so the same person teaching a chief executive on Monday is teaching a first-time cohort on Wednesday.
He is an accomplished chief executive and business leader with demonstrated success in the technology and digital assets sector. A seasoned business-development professional, he has built and grown organisations, led dynamic teams and forged strategic partnerships. His expertise extends to regulatory compliance, strategic planning and financial management, with a focus on business models that maximise stakeholder return on investment.
That combination is the point. When someone asks whether an AI use case is worth the money, or safe to put anywhere near client data, the answer comes from someone who has had to make that call himself.

Michelle Grant is Instructional Technology and Design Specialist and a veteran Information Technology Lecturer at Bermuda College, and the Special Trainer for the AI curriculum delivered in partnership with the institute.
She designs and facilitates the generative AI programmes, corporate workshops and professional certificate courses that equip Bermudian professionals and local businesses with practical AI competencies, custom workflow automations and prompt engineering skills.
She has worked to advance digital literacy and lead institutional digital transformation since 2005, and collaborates with youth empowerment initiatives and scholarship committees to widen educational access across Bermuda. She holds a Master of Science in Educational Technology.
Stuart Lacey
Founder and Chief Executive
Stuart founded the Bermuda Clarity Institute in 2021 and designed the Foundations in Artificial Intelligence curriculum now delivered with Bermuda College. He sets the institute’s direction and curriculum rather than delivering the training himself.
He is also Founder and Chief Executive of Labrynth, a global AI regulatory services company which, with Red Tape Index, delivers data and AI intelligence services in 30 countries. He has founded twelve companies in twenty years, among them a global data rights and privacy platform and a generative AI accelerator.
A Forbes author and TEDx speaker on the future of personal data and privacy, he has held leadership positions at YPO, Summit Group and OpenExO — collectively serving over 130,000 chief executives — and was the first man appointed to the board of the Women’s Business Network.
Today’s pace of change is accelerating like a freight train, and you need to try to get on. Stuart Lacey
Beyond the classroom
Two services that run alongside training
We recommend running an audit in parallel with staff training, so that governance keeps pace with capability rather than arriving after an incident.
Service one
AI audit
A diagnostic and strategy document assessing how ready your organisation actually is. Where your data sits and who can reach it, what is safe to put into which class of tool, which processes will repay automation first, and a sequenced plan for what to do in what order.
- AI readiness assessment
- Data governance review
- Prioritised use-case shortlist
- Written strategy document
Service two
Fractional AI
Ongoing access to an experienced AI practitioner — effectively an AI worker on your team — so you can implement in a controlled way at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time specialist you may not need yet.
- Controlled, staged implementation
- No full-time specialist headcount
- Builds on your trained team
- Scales up or stops as you need
