- They have a Official website which will soon offer many details about it and about the progress of the project.
- For now, it's just one innovative technology company (start-up) whose goal is to create a trusted, independent and open source artificial intelligence ecosystem.
- While, in parallel, it seeks to create a real open source community for artificial intelligence. One that can be trusted and that helps build open source solutions that uphold accountability, transparency, and openness at its core.
- At the beginning they will focus, among other things, on people-centric recommender systems that do not generate misinformation or harm their well-being.
- It aims to develop AI technologies that are ethical, transparent and accessible. And that, in turn, remain usable for the common good, and not for malicious purposes.

More about possible future features of Mozilla AI
Although not much is known yet about the specifics of Mozilla AI, the Mozilla Foundation has given some clues as to what we can expect.
- Transparency: AI is often considered a “black” technology, that is, a technology that is difficult to understand and explain. Mozilla AI will focus on transparency, which means that algorithms and data will be open and accessible.
- Ethics: AI can be used for malicious purposes, such as manipulation of public opinion or discrimination. The Mozilla Foundation will ensure that AI projects developed through Mozilla AI are ethical and respect human rights.
- Accessibility: AI can be expensive and difficult to use. Mozilla AI will focus on making AI accessible to everyone, not just big companies.
