Iason Gabriel
Philosopher whose alignment work connects target selection, plural values and fair principle-selection procedures.
Iason Gabriel’s personal biography, checked October 2026, describes him as a philosopher and research scientist at Google DeepMind working on AI ethics, value alignment, distributive justice and human rights.
He authored Artificial Intelligence, Values and Alignment, which distinguishes alignment targets and seeks fair principles despite moral disagreement.[1] With Vafa Ghazavi, he coauthored The Challenge of Value Alignment: from Fairer Algorithms to AI Safety.[2] With Laura Weidinger and colleagues, he coauthored Using the Veil of Ignorance to align AI systems with principles of justice, testing a bounded principle-selection procedure.[3]
These contributions connect Social Alignment and Veil of Ignorance; philosophical justification and empirical preference evidence remain distinct.
