03 / My story

Creativity has
always come first.

I am Dr. Calvin Jefferson, an oil painter, author, U.S. Navy veteran, and founder of TRUST AI IQ. My creative story began with drawing in Little Rock, Arkansas, and continues today in Ontario, California.

Art gives me a language for exploring culture and human experience. My work in health sciences and trust brings another question into focus: how do we decide what deserves our confidence?

Across the canvas and the page, I return to curiosity, purpose, and the power of looking more closely.

04 / The ideas

Trust starts
with questions.

As founder of TRUST AI IQ™, I focus on helping people think critically about AI-generated information. The platform supports structured review of accuracy, transparency, bias, accountability, privacy, and human oversight.

My doctoral research explored public trust in regenerative medicine. That research informs my interest in how people evaluate information; platform assessments support human judgment.
