Last March, during the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, Mozilla issued a call to builders and technologists all over the world to create trustworthy AI solutions when we relaunched the Mozilla Builders program and unveiled our Responsible AI Challenge<\/a> \u2014 a one-day, in-person event designed to inspire and encourage a community of builders working on trustworthy AI products and solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future of AI is promising! And there are those, like Mozilla, who believe in its power and potential to solve the world’s most difficult challenges. Nonetheless, we also recognize its risks and advocate for and contribute to the responsible development of AI for the betterment of society. Ultimately, we believe that responsible AI \u2013 technology that takes into consideration accountability, user agency, and individual and collective well-being \u2013 is demonstrably worthy of trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
