Mozilla is proud to announce the launch of Mozilla AI, a new initiative that will invest in trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI). We believe that AI should be developed and used responsibly, with respect for people’s privacy and safety. That’s why we are investing in research, development, and advocacy projects to ensure that AI is designed ethically and transparently.
At Mozilla, we have long been committed to protecting user privacy online. We recognize the potential of AI technology to improve our lives but also understand the risks associated with its misuse or abuse. As such, it is essential that we develop responsible approaches for using this powerful tool.
The goal of Mozilla AI is to create an open source platform where developers can build trust-based applications powered by artificial intelligence technologies like machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). This platform will provide access to data sets from trusted sources as well as tools for creating secure models based on these datasets. Additionally, it will offer guidance on best practices when developing ML/NLP applications so they remain compliant with ethical standards set forth by organizations like IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous & Intelligent Systems (AIES).
We are excited about what this initiative could mean for the future of trustworthy AI development. By providing resources such as data sets from reliable sources and tools for building secure models based on them, we hope to make it easier for developers around the world to create safe applications powered by artificial intelligence technologies without compromising their users’ security or privacy rights. Furthermore, through our advocacy efforts we aim to raise awareness about how important it is that all stakeholders involved in developing these technologies adhere strictly to ethical guidelines set forth by organizations like IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous & Intelligent Systems (AIES).
In addition to launching Mozilla AI today, we are also announcing two other initiatives: The Responsible Machine Learning Fund which provides grants up $50K USD each year; and The Trustworthy ML Fellowship Program which offers fellowships ranging from $25K-$100K USD per year depending upon experience level. Both programs seek out individuals who share our commitment towards making sure artificial intelligence technology remains accountable while being used responsibly across industries worldwide – including healthcare providers; financial institutions; government agencies; educational institutions; media outlets; etc..
Finally ,we want everyone who uses any type of digital product or service powered by Artificial Intelligence technology – whether they realize it or not -to know that there are safeguards in place ensuring their safety . With this mission in mind ,we look forward continuing our work towards advancing responsible use cases within this space .
