The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised concerns about its potential to be used for harmful purposes, such as spreading misinformation or manipulating people’s behavior. Mozilla is launching a new company, Mozilla.ai, to build a trustworthy and independent open-source AI ecosystem. The company will focus on developing tools that make AI safer and more transparent, and on building people-centric recommendation systems that don’t misinform or undermine people’s well-being.
Mozilla.ai is led by Moez Draief, who has over a decade of experience working on the practical applications of cutting-edge AI. The company’s board of directors includes Harvard’s Karim Lakhani, Credo’s Navrina Singh, and Mozilla’s own Mitchell Baker.
Mozilla.ai’s launch is a significant step in the effort to build a more ethical and responsible AI ecosystem. The company’s work will help to ensure that AI is used for good, and that it benefits all of humanity
