Mozilla and Element AI are partnering to support ethical use of artificial intelligence and give individuals more control over their information, ZDNet reports. "Mozilla and Element AI hope to create data trust tools able to replace the current'broken consent-based system of data collection,'" the article states. The AI approach to measuring and maintaining data is proposed to "balance power and data rights between companies, governments, and individuals; to enhance privacy, and to give the public the opportunity to'share in the value of data and artificial intelligence.'"

Mozilla, the nonprofit behind the free and open-source Firefox web browser, is partnering with Montreal-based artificial intelligence startup Element AI to push for ethical use of AI. To that effect, the two companies are exploring the idea of data trusts, a proposed data collection approach that aims to provide individuals with greater control over their personal information. The aim, the companies said, is to offer an alternative model to the current broken consent-based system of data collection such as the EU GDPR regulations. It's easy to see why. As artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) continues to infiltrate different aspects of our day-to-day lives, the technology is now doing more than ever -- for both good and bad.

The collaboration involves the development of tools to give us more control over our data. Mozilla has announced a partnership with Element AI in a bid to advocate for the use of ethical artificial intelligence (AI). On Monday, the tech giant said the strategic partnership between Mozilla and Element AI is focused on addressing "how new AI technologies and tools present challenges and opportunities for today's digital frontiers." In particular, the ethical case for AI and its applications is of concern. AI, despite its infancy, has already proven itself in use cases that benefit humanity such as its use in neuroscience to assist paralyzed patients to communicate, the diagnosis of medical conditions and for tracking in academic research projects.

However, for every worthwhile, ethical purpose, AI can also be used for applications that some may deem unethical, including the development of unmanned weapons and military vehicles, as well as for mass surveillance.
