Mozilla Announces $225,000 for Art and Advocacy Exploring Artificial Intelligence – The Mozilla Blog

At Mozilla, one way we support a healthy internet is by fueling the people and projects on the front lines -- from grants for community technologists in Detroit, to fellowships for online privacy activists in Rio. Today, we are opening applications for a new round of Mozilla awards. We're awarding $225,000 to technologists and media makers who help the public understand how threats to a healthy internet affect their everyday lives. Specifically, we're seeking projects that explore artificial intelligence and machine learning. In a world where biased algorithms, skewed data sets, and broken recommendation engines can radicalize YouTube users, promote racism, and spread fake news, it's more important than ever to support artwork and advocacy work that educates and engages internet users.
