Comment on Nabiha Syed will join the Mozilla Foundation as [their] next Executive Director
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 5 months agoTbf if you actually look into Mozilla’s “AI” plans, it’s for stuff like better offline translation, better screen reader and image description functionality for disabled users, finding alternate sources for articles, and so on.
It all runs locally, is trained on open source models with ethically sourced training data, and doesn’t send your personal information to Mozilla.
I don’t think it should be treated in the same way as Google or Microsoft’s AI implementations.

Yeah but they also use the word 'commercialize' which could very well mean that they're looking to get something out from this. How much and who's profiting is what we don't know yet but it is a concern.
