Mozilla Launches AI Intersections Database to Fuel Trustworthy AI Movement
Por Mozilla | 18 de Abril de 2024
New tool connects organizations that are confronting AI bias, data rights, tech worker exploitation, and other social justice issues
--
(THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 2024) — Today, Mozilla launches the AI Intersections Database, a tool that maps connections between AI impacts and human rights issues. The database also catalogs civil society organizations, social movement actors, researchers, and other entities working in this space.
The tool is designed to help these entities conduct research, share work, forge partnerships, and find supporters in the collective fight for digital technologies that help, rather than harm, people and communities.
Database users can browse by justice areas (e.g., disability justice, economic justice, racial justice) and also AI impact categories (e.g., bias and discrimination, consumers rights violations, worker exploitation). Users can also search by movement actor type and location. At launch, the database includes seven social justice areas, 23 AI impact categories, and hundreds of actors spanning dozens of countries — and it will continue to grow. Individuals and organizations are invited to contribute both issues and people to the database.
Says Kenrya Rankin, Mozilla Research Editor and database project lead: “We created the AI Intersections Database as movement infrastructure — a living tool to facilitate meaningful collaboration between people and organizations with similar goals. The importance of trustworthy AI spans many movements, from racial justice to environmental justice and beyond. This database helps make, and strengthen, those connections.”

The database is an evolution of Mozilla’s 2021 Movement Building Landscape Analysis, which explored potential partnerships at the intersection of consumer AI and social justice. Above all, this database is an offering. It is part of Mozilla’s larger movement-building strategy, which leverages advocacy and philanthropy to make trustworthy AI a reality.
