This informs the public about the Mozilla Senior Fellowship Program 2024. Details about the Program are given below.

Mozilla Senior Fellowship Program 2024

For 25 years, Mozilla has existed to protect and promote the internet as a global public resource, open and accessible to all. Our vision is rooted in the Mozilla Manifesto, anchored by openness, agency and accountability, and focused on trustworthy AI.

Mozilla’s Senior Fellowship Program brings together experts advancing trustworthy AI and promoting an ethical, responsible and inclusive internet environment.

Program Details

Mozilla is concerned about how technology impacts people, either when real-life oppression, marginalization, and injustices are replicated online or when technology is used to shift power to people. Mozilla believes that everyone has a stake in understanding and protecting the health of the internet; that’s why our movement-building strategy invests in people at the forefront of global innovation, amplifying and acknowledging their work and commitment.

Building sustained political power is our most important task as a movement builder. Over the next three years we will prioritize three areas from our Theory of Change we believe will accelerate and increase the creation of trustworthy AI:

  1. Partnering with civil society actors in promoting trustworthy AI, thus building sustained political power and shifting the public narrative on AI.
  2. Including communities, especially people historically shut out of tech, in the design of AI by building connections that represent their perspectives.
  3. Working with builders who prioritize open source and community-driven approaches to building and governing trustworthy AI and in the development and deployment of datasets.
