Gabrielle Hibbert is an interdisciplinary tech policy researcher who focuses on data privacy, data ethics, and human rights to create research that strives to contribute to equitable technological development. She started her career in policy working for Senator Mark Warner. After completing her master’s thesis on privacy-focused identity management systems, Hibbert transitioned to the tech sector, working as a security engineer and researcher for Least Authority.
In 2021 Hibbert helped establish the Racial Justice Tech Policy Program at Brandeis University, where she currently serves as adjunct lecturer focusing on responsible artificial intelligence, tech policy, and privacy policy. She is also a policy analyst at the United Network for Organ Sharing, where she works on artificial intelligence modeling for organ allocation. Outside of Brandeis University, Hibbert has helped shape research on responsible artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies for consulting agencies, nonprofits, and Fortune 500 companies. Her work has appeared in the Diplomatic Courier, the Kapor Center, and the Bipartisan Policy Center.
Hibbert’s #ShareTheMicInCyber fellowship project will focus on creating a culturally relevant and education-agnostic non-developer’s guide to generative AI content, with the aim to provide non-developers the tools to assess misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation.
