In Mozilla Foundation’s recent research, we found “it’s not just the mindset of decision-makers that matters, but who is making those decisions matters. Tech has made strides in recent years to bring in new and diverse voices into product development, but we are still far from where we need to be.” This is one of the reasons why we support Fellows across the globe who are working on efforts to advance technology grounded in local needs.
Through the flagship Mozilla Fellowship program, we aim to empower people and bold ideas that can shape a more human-centered internet. We have fellows that are focused on mitigating a range of threats to internet health, and some of the Fellows this year have made great strides in raising awareness and proposing solutions to support the development of trustworthy AI systems that incorporate cultural sensitivities.
AI experts and leaders are calling upon EU policy makers to regulate general purpose AI (GPAI) across its life cycle and not exempt its original developers under the forthcoming EU AI Act.
It might appear that we’re at an impasse when it comes to regulating foundation models in the AI Act — in fact, this could put the entire AI Act at risk. But we believe there’s a middle ground for all sides to come to an agreement.
