Data Futures Lab

The Data Futures Lab is an experimental space for instigating new approaches to data stewardship challenges. It provides funding, scaffolding for collaboration, convening around emerging ideas, and a place to workshop approaches to data stewardship which give greater control and agency to people.

In 2024, Mozilla’s Data Futures Lab is hosting a speaker series exploring a more equitable data ecosystem in the era of generative AI. We’ll feature builders, legal experts, and researchers who identify issues and propose concrete solutions.

Cullen Miller, VP of Policy at Spawning, presented their work building some of the only tools that enable creatives to determine if their work is part of a training dataset (Have I been trained), opt-out (ai.txt), and identify active web scrapers and reject or misdirect all requests from the scrapers (Kudurru).
