== About Mozilla Foundation ==


= Mozilla Foundation Strategic Plan: Fueling the Movement =
[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ Mozilla] exists to guard the open nature of the Internet and to ensure it remains a global public resource, open and accessible to all. Founded as a community open source project in 1998, Mozilla currently consists of two organizations: the 501(c)3 [https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/ Mozilla Foundation], which leads our movement building work; and its wholly owned subsidiary, the [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/ Mozilla Corporation], which leads our market-based work. The two organizations work in concert with each other and a global community of tens of thousands of volunteers under the single banner: Mozilla.

===== By 2020… =====
 
'''Over the next five years, MoFo will play a central role in fueling a larger movement for the health of the Internet.''' We will act as a magnet and training ground for the leaders of this movement. We will rally 10s of millions of citizens. And, working with our community and allies, we will become a loud voice on the issue of Internet health.


Mozilla Foundation is in its third year of a three year strategy. This year we will undertake both an evaluation of our strategy thus far as well as plan for our next three years. Stay tuned for updates!
A key learning from our 2018 program evaluation was that we needed a more specific impact goal to drive our work forward. '''Since 2019, and as part of the second phase of Mozilla’s movement building strategy, we focused our work on developing trustworthy AI.'''<br />


===== Why? =====
Mozilla has ideas for how to work towards AI that enriches the lives of human beings, rather than harms them. We call it [https://foundation.mozilla.org/blog/trustworthy-ai-abridged-version/ ‘trustworthy AI’] and this framing guides a large part of our work. If we want a healthy internet — and a healthy digital society — we need to make sure AI is trustworthy. AI, and the large pools of data that fuel it, are central to how computing works today. If we want apps, social networks, our devices and government to serve us as people — and as citizens — we need to make sure the way we build with AI has things like privacy and fairness built in from the get go.
We urgently need citizens, governments and companies to understand and stand up for the Internet as a public resource for all.
<br />
<br />


===== How? =====
[[File:MoFo AI Theory of Change (ToC) – Landscape Design.jpg|600px|center]]
'''Mozilla is transforming itself for a new era: focused on Internet health well beyond the browser.''' MoCo brings our values into market via products + tech; MoFo fuels a larger movement for Internet health. The two orgs are more aligned and collaborative than ever.
<br />
Adding fuel to a global movement for Internet health means supporting and working with people around the world who share our commitment to guarding the open nature of the internet. This includes three core strategies:
# '''Shape the agenda''': make Internet health a mainstream issue globally. See [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Internet_Health_Report Internet Health Report]
# '''Connect leaders''': our network members promote the values and health of the Internet. See [https://foundation.mozilla.org/fellowships/ Mozilla Fellowships]and [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mozilla_Festival MozFest] as examples.
# '''Rally citizens''': people make more conscious choices, companies and gov’ts react.

'''Working with teams across Mozilla, we will increase our engagement with citizens and leaders on Internet health issues.''' We will make more people aware of these issues, invite them to express their support and encourage them to take action. Some actions will be small, like becoming a member or sharing an educational video. Some will be big, like writing code or running a campaign to get web literacy in local schools.
== Next Steps on Trustworthy AI: transparency, bias and better data governance (Phase 3 - 2021+) ==


'''As we do this, protecting the health of the Internet ecosystem will grow as a 'movement,'''' just as we've seen the environmental movement grow over the past 50 years. We'll watch as attitudes change, with people seeking more privacy and more choice in the products they use online. We’ll become as conscious about the quality of our Internet as we are about the quality of the air we breathe or water we drink.  
When we turned our attention to AI, we started to ask: how can we make the data driven technologies we all use everyday more trustworthy? How can we make things like social networks, home assistants and search engines both more helpful and less harmful in the era ahead? '''In 2021, entering the third phase of our movement building strategy, we want to make concrete progress in three specific areas: transparency, data stewardship and bias. We also want to deepen our efforts to build alliances with other movements.''' <br />


‘Internet health’ will provide a unifying term that will help us describe and roll up our key issues: privacy + security, web literacy, digital inclusion, decentralization and open innovation.
Mozilla Foundation’s [[Foundation/2021/OKRs|2021 work]] is organized around these themes:
* Test '''AI transparency''' best practices to increase adoption by builders and policymakers.
* Accelerate the impact of people working to mitigate '''bias in AI'''.
* Accelerate equitable '''data governance''' alternatives as a way to advance trustworthy AI.


===== Theory of Change =====
We have also mapped out draft [https://mzl.la/AI_arcs2021okrs three year arcs] in these areas to guide our work in the coming years. All of this maps to short term outcomes in our AI theory of change.<br />

About Mozilla Foundation

Mozilla exists to guard the open nature of the Internet and to ensure it remains a global public resource, open and accessible to all. Founded as a community open source project in 1998, Mozilla currently consists of two organizations: the 501(c)3 Mozilla Foundation, which leads our movement building work; and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation, which leads our market-based work. The two organizations work in concert with each other and a global community of tens of thousands of volunteers under the single banner: Mozilla.

This wiki outlines the movement building strategy being led by the Mozilla Foundation. We invite your feedback and participation in this work.


Strategy Phase 1, 2016: Fueling a movement for internet health

Mozilla believes that we all have a stake in understanding and protecting the health of the internet. Since 2016, the Mozilla Foundation has focused its efforts on fueling an emerging movement of internet users, technologists, researchers and activists who are standing and fighting for a healthy internet for generations to come.

Focusing on Trustworthy AI (Phase 2 - 2019)

A key learning from our 2018 program evaluation was that we needed a more specific impact goal to drive our work forward. Since 2019, and as part of the second phase of Mozilla’s movement building strategy, we focused our work on developing trustworthy AI.

Mozilla has ideas for how to work towards AI that enriches the lives of human beings, rather than harms them. We call it ‘trustworthy AI’ and this framing guides a large part of our work. If we want a healthy internet — and a healthy digital society — we need to make sure AI is trustworthy. AI, and the large pools of data that fuel it, are central to how computing works today. If we want apps, social networks, our devices and government to serve us as people — and as citizens — we need to make sure the way we build with AI has things like privacy and fairness built in from the get go.

Next Steps on Trustworthy AI: transparency, bias and better data governance (Phase 3 - 2021+)

When we turned our attention to AI, we started to ask: how can we make the data driven technologies we all use everyday more trustworthy? How can we make things like social networks, home assistants and search engines both more helpful and less harmful in the era ahead? In 2021, entering the third phase of our movement building strategy, we want to make concrete progress in three specific areas: transparency, data stewardship and bias. We also want to deepen our efforts to build alliances with other movements.

Mozilla Foundation’s 2021 work is organized around these themes:

  • Test AI transparency best practices to increase adoption by builders and policymakers.
  • Accelerate the impact of people working to mitigate bias in AI.
  • Accelerate equitable data governance alternatives as a way to advance trustworthy AI.

We have also mapped out draft three year arcs in these areas to guide our work in the coming years. All of this maps to short term outcomes in our AI theory of change.
