Mozilla Welcomes Three New Fellows Examining Trustworthy AI

Sylvie's work sits at the intersection of law and ethics, with a particular interest in data and machine ethics. As a Mozilla Fellow, her research will focus on the design of computer systems meant for morally-loaded contexts. "My work seeks to reverse the current top-down, fire-brigade approach to data governance," Sylvie says. "Instead of seeking to minimise the increasingly-evident yet poorly-understood harms that result from the systematic collection of personal data, its aim is to build a'people empowering' toolkit." Sylvie is also considering the potential inherent in "bottom-up" Data Trusts as a mechanism to address power imbalances between data-subjects and data-controllers.
