Mozilla joins Element AI in the field of artificial intelligence ethics

Mozilla announced that it has cooperated with Element AI to promote the use of ethical artificial intelligence (AI). On Monday, the technology giant said that the strategic partnership between Mozilla and Element AI is focused on how new AI technologies and tools can present challenges and opportunities for today’s digital frontiers.

Among them, the ethical issues of AI and its application are particularly worthy of attention. Although AI is still in its infancy, it has proven its worth in use cases that benefit humans, such as helping patients communicate in the field of neuroscience, diagnosing medical conditions, and tracking in academic research projects.

However, in addition to this valuable and ethical purpose, AI can be used in applications that may be considered unethical, such as unmanned weapons, military vehicle development, and large-scale surveillance. With the continuous development and growth of technology, it is particularly important to create and maintain a certain level of ethics.

“Artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) algorithms show great promises for our day-to-day lives, from more efficient services to better health care. As Element AI ‘operationalizes AI’ for these purposes, we’re also dedicated to the ethical governance of the massive amounts of data accessed by these algorithms,” said Marc-Etienne Ouimette, Head of Policy and Government Relations at Element AI. “Working in collaboration with the Mozilla will support our work to address the pressing needs to ensure that AI products and solutions are deployed responsibly, with the appropriate tools and guidance necessary to support companies, governments and citizens,” added Ouimette.

“Element AI has cultivated a bold reputation as a leading responsible AI products and advisory services company,” said Mark Surman, Executive Director of Mozilla. “Their exemplary policy work and technical research capacity makes Element AI a natural partner for Mozilla to advance its goal of promoting internet health in the age of AI. We look forward to working together, and taking concrete steps for advancement.”
