Hello,

You may have heard about Mozilla’s largest tech event of the year happening online from 20-24 March…

The schedule is now LIVE, and I’m thrilled to invite you to explore the 162 sessions, 125 workshops, 25 Art & Media installations, 32 lightning talks, and 21 social moments, that make up MozFest Virtual 2023.

What’s On The Schedule?

MozFest is made up of Spaces which are thematic focus areas that contain sessions and experiences. Within each Space, you can find everything you need: interactive, community-led sessions, inspiring talks, art installations, lots of coffee, and community. Here are a few of exciting sessions from the ‘Utility of Transparency’ and ‘Humans Behind the Machine’ Spaces:

Utility of Transparency Reframing Algorithmic Transparency A lightning talk highlighting the complexity posed by machine learning algorithms and AI technologies. The World According to TikTok: Mapping Digital Boundaries and Algorithmic Proximities A session investigating TikTok with the aim of making opaque platform decisions more transparent and holding them accountable.

Humans Behind the Machine Uniting the Amazon Mechanical Turk Workers Behind AI: The Challenges of Virtual Global Organising An open discussion about organising a virtual workforce while providing access for all. Internet-mediated Sex Work: Exploring Policies, Practices and Designs for a Safer Online Environment for Sex Workers A discovery session to explore the impact of issues related to privacy, censorship, and the impact of platforms’ designs and algorithms on sex workers’ agency and safety.
