Giada Pistilli
Principal Ethicist at Hugging Face | Ph.D. Candidate in Philosophy at Sorbonne Université.

I am a researcher in philosophy, specializing in ethics applied to conversational AI systems. My research is mainly focused on comparative ethical frameworks, value pluralism, and Machine Learning (Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models).
After obtaining a master’s degree in ethics and political philosophy at Sorbonne Université in 2019, I continued my doctoral research in the same faculty, joining the Sorbonne Université - CNRS mixed unit laboratory Sciences, Normes, Democratie.
I am currently the Principal Ethicist at Hugging Face where I do philosophical and interdisciplinary research on AI Ethics.
