Olivia Gambelin

AI Ethicist, Philosopher, Authority on Moral Intelligence in Technology

Olivia Gambelin, AI ethicist and CEO of Ethical Intelligence, presenting on her 'Values Canvas' and the strategic power of ethics-by-design in 2026.

Olivia Gambelin works on the question most technology strategies avoid: how do we make machines align with human values, when humans don’t always agree on what those values are?

A philosopher by training and a leading voice in AI ethics, Olivia operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence and moral reasoning.  Her work focuses on how ethical frameworks can be translated into systems, policies, and product design, as operational choices embedded in code, governance, and leadership behaviour.

She moves beyond surface-level discussions of bias or compliance to examine how values are prioritised, negotiated, and encoded when AI systems are deployed at scale. Her insight reframes ethics as a form of strategic intelligence essential for trust, legitimacy, and long-term adoption.

For senior audiences, Olivia brings clarity to a critical challenge of the AI age: how organisations make value-based decisions when automation accelerates consequence faster than reflection.
