Dr. Hubert Etienne is a world-class AI expert whose primary focus on encouraging ethical AI usage and social media interactions underpins his worldwide influence. Having formerly headed Meta’s AI department as Global Generative AI Ethics Lead, he’s overseen the development of conscious practises across the likes of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Now, he’s the proud CEO of Quintessence AI – a company specialising in guiding governments and large companies through their unique AI strategies. Hubert has spent his career addressing the most pressing problems plaguing the cyberspace, ensuring that the future of tech is one filled with positive potential.
Hubert began his career with a bang. As one of only five philosophers to be working for the world’s major computing companies, he was a core initiator of Meta’s research into AI ethics. As a result, he was able to introduce this very discipline in France, with his work across university courses at Sciences Po, HEC Paris and ESCP Europe culminating in the development of an entirely new concept. Said concept was none other than Computational Philosophy – a branch that enabled the close analysis of online social behaviours. By gathering this essential information, Hubert was able to publish Meta’s very first research into misinformation and social influence.
Now a globally recognised presence, Hubert has had the opportunity to appear at some of the most notable universities across the globe, namely Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Columbia, and even the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Across these institutes, he has presented a vast array of talks spanning a myriad of gripping topics and concepts. When not addressing students attending the world’s premier academies and universities, however, Hubert can be seen delivering keynote speeches on event stages Between London’s AI Summit in 2021, Amsterdam’s World Summit AI, Luxembourg’s ICT Spring, and more, he has had a profound impact on audiences looking to onboard the latest ethical AI practises.
Dr. Hubert Etienne embodies what it means to be the face of tomorrow. Through compelling keynote speeches and frequent academic appearances, he’s inspiring the next generation of leaders. He does so by sharing actionable insights and vivid ideas for what the future of AI could look like. As a man who has studied the extensive capabilities of the medium, he’s earned himself a position as a trusted expert, and it’s thanks to his presence in the cyberspace scene that we can usher in an entirely new era of AI usage.
