Mozilla’s Biggest AI Moments

Just over a year ago Mozilla launched two big investments in AI — a $35 million investment in a responsible tech fund, Mozilla Ventures and a $30 million investment in a R+D Lab developing trustworthy AI, Mozilla.AI.

AI: 2023’s Most Celebrated Influencer

As we all reflect on the past year and the moments that had the biggest impact on our lives and culture, we at Mozilla can’t help but call out Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it has permeated our society this year. And while Time magazine may have named Taylor Swift its “person of the year” (for reasons we know all too well), we think that AI was the real topic that was top of mind for everyone in 2023 — honestly, who amongst us didn’t post ethereal AI portraits to our feeds?

Even worse, beneath this sometimes infuriating facade is a system that depends extensively on inva...[More]
