Community Health: What’s AI got to do with it ?

Hello,

Mozilla recently launched the AI Intersections Database. It catalogs the civil society organizations, activists, researchers, funders, and others who are working to make AI equitable for all at the intersection of seven social justice areas: Community Health and Collective Security, Disability Justice, Economic Justice, Environmental Justice, Gender Justice, Human Rights, and Racial Justice.

The justice areas aren’t just filters; they represent real communities and real struggles (and successes!). That’s why I’m excited to share our brand new blog series, which explores some of the ways AI impacts marginalized communities, complete with interviews with other experts from across the globe who are working for a more trustworthy AI future.

Up first is Community Health and Collective Security, which covers issues including individual freedoms, collective safety, education, and overall well-being. Whether we’re talking about a classroom full of 12 year olds in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio (U.S.), or a Zoom room full of aspiring technologists logging in from all over Harare, Zimbabwe, how we educate students will dictate our collective future.

So I turned to two of Mozilla’s own Responsible Computing Challenge (RCC) fellows to discuss the road map that gets us there: Dr. Chao Mbogho and Jibu Elias, Mozilla’s RCC leads in Kenya and India, respectively. Will you take a moment today to read our blog post on driving equity in how we educate the next generation of responsible technologists?

In solidarity,
