The Data Future Labs (DFL) Showcase highlights builders around the world developing data tools and platforms that prioritize the needs and interests of their communities. In the fast-paced world of AI and data the popular discourse and priorities are set by a small but vocal minority. Through the DFL Showcase we hope to highlight and support a more global outlook on Data Futures and bring together dedicated funders ready to prioritize and invest in those futures.
In June 2024, we brought our Showcase to MozFest House Amsterdam. This edition was focused on shifting the narrative around what’s possible in data stewardship and Trustworthy AI. We presented a selection of projects from the Data Futures Lab’s network that are illustrative of what could be done to give more power to people and communities in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
