Jonathan Berte Joins Disclosure Foundation as Chief Technology Officer
The Disclosure Foundation today announced that Jonathan Berte, founder and Chairman of the Board of Robovision, has joined the organization as Chief Technology Officer. His appointment strengthens the Foundation’s ability to build scalable, public-interest technology infrastructure in support of UAP transparency, open-access research, legislative engagement, and public education.
Jonathan Berte is a computer vision and AI entrepreneur and the founder and Chairman of the Board of Robovision, the Ghent-based Vision AI company he started in 2008 as a consultancy focused on computer vision and robotics. With a background in applied physics specializing in image processing, he helped build Robovision into a leading AI-powered computer vision platform used across agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, and other industries. Robovision’s technology is deployed on more than 1,000 machines across more than 45 countries.
As Chief Technology Officer, Berte will help guide the Foundation’s technology strategy across its core mission areas, including data infrastructure, research tools, public-facing platforms, and digital advocacy efforts. His experience translating advanced machine learning and vision systems into practical tools for real-world deployment will support the Foundation’s work at the intersection of public transparency, national security, science, and civic engagement.
“The path to greater transparency requires more than hearings and public statements. It also requires credible infrastructure that helps organize information, support serious research, and make verifiable data more accessible. Jonathan’s experience building applied AI and computer vision platforms at global scale will significantly strengthen the Foundation’s ability to advance that mission.”
Christopher Mellon
Chairman of the board
The Disclosure Foundation is building public-interest technology infrastructure to support a serious, disciplined, and institutionally credible approach to UAP disclosure. That includes expanding access to verifiable UAP-related data, developing open-source and open-access tools for researchers, journalists, policymakers, and the public, and creating systems that make government records, scientific materials, and evidentiary claims easier to organize, evaluate, and understand. These priorities align with the Foundation’s broader goals around advocacy, public education, scientific inquiry, and transparency.
"Disclosure is not just a policy challenge. It is also an infrastructure challenge. We need trusted systems for information intake, analysis, public engagement, and institutional coordination. Jonathan’s leadership will help us build that foundation with the seriousness and technical rigor the issue deserves.”
