Trustworthy AI

In 2023, MozFest is harnessing our collective power to better our digital landscape, build transformative systems, and sustain momentum within our community towards positive human and digital rights progress. It is through the collective power of the people that we can actualize Trustworthy AI.

"15.7 trillion. The amount AI is predicted to contribute to the global economy by 2030."

Sizing the Prize, PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2017

As we investigate Trustworthy AI and the ways in which we can move from opaque, closed systems towards open, transparent ones, we center the people: builders, users, whistle blowers, and all those affected. MozFest is the gathering place for human intelligence that weaves in ancestral, ecological, technical and spiritual knowledge, to move the needle in shaping Artificial Intelligence.

2023 Central Issues

At MozFest, we focus on the most pressing issues of our current digital world.

  • A poster pinned to a corkboard that reads 'Trust me, I'm an AI.' surrounded by sticky notes to the right of the poster.

    Bias

    The result of systematic design, allowing for unevenly distributed power. Let's redesign the system.

  • A black and white tailors mannequin with a pink sign around the neck that says 'Free Your Data!' in the background there is a model of a fox's head.

    Data Stewardship

    The process of how our data is gathered, governed, deployed. Our data should benefit, not harm.

  • A world map with sticky notes added to different countries

    Movement Building

    An enduring practice, deep commitment towards shared goals, and desire to see systemic change.

    Transparency

    To clearly see the root of the problem and realistic solutions. We practice co-creation and openness.

There are many forces that move the world, and one of them is the collective power of people. In recent years, collective power has fueled the open source movement by providing access for more people to build online, propelled global awareness of political and social injustice, and helped individuals navigate a deadly pandemic through mutual aid efforts. But change is constant, and the internet of today has created new problems around open and collective power.
