The Common Voice project is a Mozilla effort meant to make speech recognition and voice-based AI more inclusive. Users donate their voice by sending in clips that, in turn, helps voice-based apps recognize a wider array of user voices. The team’s latest foray takes things to the next level with Spontaneous Speech. Learn more about it here.
In the struggle over who can train AI models and how, there’s a casualty many people don’t realize: The open web. Mozilla speaks with the team behind the Data Provenance Initiative, a Data Futures Lab Awardee.
The Data Future Labs (DFL) Showcase highlights builders around the world developing data tools and platforms that prioritize the needs and interests of their communities. In the fast-paced world of AI and data the popular discourse and priorities are set by a small but vocal minority. Through the DFL Showcase we hope to highlight and support a more global outlook on Data Futures and bring together dedicated funders ready to prioritize and invest in those futures.
