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.
Kwanele App: Kwanele’s innovative app gives women and children an easy-to-use tool to report and successfully prosecute crimes involving Gender Based Violence (GBV).
In emergency situations, the Kwanele app provides victims with fast access to help, and to a community to stand with them. The app also provides a tool box of resources for use in court cases to help ensure successful conviction rates against perpetrators.
Bountiful Futures: The power to influence AI is limited to those with specific knowledge (i.e. ML models), skills (i.e. programming), resources (i.e. access to hardware, prestige). Our goal is to build a library of visual/interactive tools as an interface to inspect and provide feedback related to bias in models and training data. We aim to grow a peer2peer community designed to improve AI literacy and collaboration between experts and diverse stakeholders with broad backgrounds/experiences. All working together through bounty programs and hackathons to collaboratively build tools, track down and correct bias and unintended consequences in AI that impact real lives.
AI Futures Lab: The AI Future Lab creates a unified space for leadership, research, data-driven projects, networking, and community building around artificial intelligence for young people around the globe. The AI Future Lab was founded in 2021 by members of the Global Shapers community. The Global Shapers Community is an initiative of the World Economic Forum.
We welcome the Mozilla community to learn more about these projects, especially AI builders, AI researchers, and funders in the ethical tech space.
