Dr. Chloé Bakalar is Chief Ethicist at Meta. She has developed and leads an engineering- and product-focused approach to the ethics of AI and GenAI, bringing normative and practical ethics considerations to bear on this extremely applied technical space. From 2018 to 2024, Bakalar was also an Assistant Professor of moral and political philosophy and public law (esp. civil rights and civil liberties) at Temple University. Her academic research focuses on the intersection of information technology, ethics and democratic citizenship. Previously, she held a Values and Public Policy Postdoctoral Associate position with appointments at Princeton’s University Center for Human Values (UCHV), Center for Information Technology Policy (CITP) and the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics (CSDP). During this fellowship, she co-founded the Princeton Dialogues on AI and Ethics, an interdisciplinary academic program aimed at empowering AI design and deployment to produce greater positive impacts on people and society while reducing potential risks. She now serves on the Advisory Board for CITP. Bakalar received her PhD in 2014 and BA in 2007.
