Established in 2003, and guided by the Mozilla Manifesto, the Mozilla Foundation believes the internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible to all. Mozilla’s mission is ambitious: making the health of the internet a mainstream issue. It is also vital: as centralization, surveillance, exclusion, and other online threats proliferate, we need a movement to keep the web a global public resource. Mozilla’s programs operate at different scales and locations around the world, fueling the movement for a healthy internet.

In 2020, the Mozilla Foundation launched a multi-year investment strategy focused on advancing ‘Trustworthy artificial intelligence’ globally. As AI is dramatically changing our online lives, we seek to ensure that AI improves human experience through designing AI systems that allow for user agency and hold companies accountable for its results. Our approach to Trustworthy AI and an outline of our Theory of Change is described in greater detail here.

Movement building is key to Mozilla’s strategy to advance a healthy internet broadly and trustworthy AI in particular. As a core part of this work, Mozilla connects and convenes the builders, educators, policy makers, artists, activists, and innovators of all stripes working to make the internet better for all of us. The Mozilla Festival - or MozFest - is the party where all of these disparate players from around the world come together to envision and build a better internet and more trustworthy AI.
