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.
