Even before ancient Greek philosophers wrote their first words, humans used ethics as a tool for living a good life.

Let us return to modern times and we find before us the opportunity to use this same tool in the search for good technology. As current practices of technological innovation deviate from our aspirations to change the world, how can we seek to transform the ancient practice of applying ethics to our lives into a modern practice of applying ethics to AI?

Olivia Gambelin explains that it's time to pursue good technology through a new form of AI innovation focused on human well-being and values. Olivia is an AI ethicist specializing in the practical application of ethics to technological innovation and the founder of Ethical Intelligence.

Originally from Silicon Valley, Olivia began her career working in digital strategy for technology startups. After graduating from Baylor University's Honors College with a bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Entrepreneurship, Olivia moved abroad for the opportunity to expand her international network as a GDPR and data privacy researcher at Brussels. This experience inspired her to return to academia to earn her Masters of Philosophy, concentration in AI Ethics, at the University of Edinburgh. While in Scotland, Olivia co-founded the Beneficial AI Society and completed her honors thesis on the effects of probability on the moral responsibility of self-driving cars.

Currently, Olivia works as the founder and CEO of Ethical Intelligence, where she leads a remote team of over seventy experts in the field of technology ethics. Additionally, she is a founding editorial board member of Springer Nature's AI and Ethics Journal, co-chair of the IEEE AI Expert Network Criteria Committee, and a member of the Ethical AI Governance Group (EAIGG) Advisory Board. .
