Hello, MozFest is less than a week away. As the world’s largest gathering for internet and tech enthusiasts making a positive impact on our digital world, we really need your expertise and presence to move the needle. Do you have your ticket to join me for MozFest on 20-24, March? Here are a few things happening (out of 420+ sessions!) next week that you’ll want to add to your schedule: - MozFest Trustworthy AI Working Group Demo Day 2023 Three working group projects will showcase their prototypes and other outcomes achieved during their time as AI Builders in MozFest Trustworthy AI Working Group Cohort 3.
- Dialogues & Debates is MozFest's speakers series — a place for fiery conversations and compelling panels. MozFest's signature speaker series will explore collective power as it shapes technological systems, policy, and social and political movements – both on and offline.
- MozFest Science Fair The MozFest Science Fair theme will explore AI Anthologies. Increasingly society has come to rely on AI-based, data-driven interventions to address social issues. Often, this can result in unforeseen impacts on the communities these interventions are designed to serve. The anthology will leverage visual storytelling in Mozilla Hubs to call up new narratives and meaningful insights about the many experiences people have living and working with AI-based systems around the world.
And did you miss our recent newsletter about the 3 Experiences coming to MozFest? | The Radical Inclusion Experience invites you to shift your point of view. Through audiovisual activities, storytelling, and much more, we will facilitate connections that explore how our ability, neurodivergence, language, and culture impact how we move through the digital world. Our collective voice can influence the future of the internet and shape Trustworthy AI. At MozFest 2023, immerse yourself in radical inclusivity and the imaginative ideas that are born from it. | | The AI Cosmologies Experience is Co-creative; Collaborative; Immersive. Embodied; Emergent. This cosmo-technic inquiry will respond to and evolve around participant offerings, interactions, provocations, and curiosities. Join us in this introspective yet collective wayfinding experiment exploring the complexities of shapeshifting algorithmic (id)entities and spaces. | | The Parables Experience is based on the work of award-winning author Octavia E. Butler, illuminating both the roots of systemic oppression AND community-led solutions and strategies in the face of climate catastrophe, criminalization, and exploitation. This experience will feature the work of a diverse range of artists, activists and community organisers who will share the unique intersections of their practices with the themes of Butler’s Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents. | Grab your ticket today, and together, let’s make this MozFest the best one yet!
