Since 2017, Iason Gabriel has worked at the tech giant, trying to anticipate – and think through – the impact of AI. But as commercial and geopolitical pressures escalate, can ethicists make any difference? In 2017, a 33-year-old political philosopher named Iason Gabriel was told by a friend that he ought to apply for a job at DeepMind, the London-based subsidiary of Google where much of its AI research was concentrated. The suggestion was not an obvious one. Gabriel was a cheerful but intense junior academic with a passion for Vipassana meditation and what his brother calls “enthusiastic” rock climbing. The eldest son of a Greek management professor and a British documentary maker, Gabriel split his time between teaching and international development work.

Reading about the “revolutionary” nature of generative AI technology these days, it’s hard not to feel a little left out. Sure, services like Google’s Gemini and its contemporaries can be useful in certain limited, specific areas for productivity purposes. But working with them can also be pretty disheartening and overwhelming — from prompt fatigue and an onslaught of AI workslop to the fear of lost jobs and even just the simple inconsistencies and inaccuracies these systems are so prone to providing. (And that’s to say nothing of the ever-increasing creepy factor that often accompanies this type of technology.) More and more, it seems the most significant impact of these systems is in areas like coding, where AI is allowing ambitious tech-heads to create their own custom programs with limited to no programming knowledge (but a lot of time, vision, and patience) — as well as allowing accomplished coders to produce products more quickly by letting AI do the dirty work and then spending
