A small handful of technology companies control the web. The reintroduction of AICOA is an important step towards fixing that. https://lnkd.in/eFwrUZis

What happens when AI makes both writing software and finding vulnerabilities dramatically easier? In a new conversation with Justin Hendrix, Raffi Krikorian reflects on the AI security “Mythos moment” and argues that the defining question for AI’s future is not whether systems are open or closed, but whether we own them or rent them. From open-source infrastructure and digital public goods to AI agents, surveillance, and governance, Krikorian explores what policymakers should be paying attention to as the internet enters its next era.

A lot of teams are still spending hours on repetitive work that could already be automated. Mozilla.ai is hosting a free live webinar on June 8th on how teams are using AI agents with Octonous to streamline workflows, reduce manual tasks, and move faster — without needing code or a big implementation project. We’ll walk through real examples, show Octonous in action, and share before-and-after stories from teams already using it. There’ll also be a live Q&A, so bring your questions and use cases!

What does "Sovereign AI" actually mean? According to Mozilla.ai CEO John Dickerson, it's not just about countries building their own models. It's about ensuring control, choice, and resilience across the entire AI stack—from infrastructure and models to the tools people use every day. The Internet taught us the value of decentralization. The question is whether we'll apply those lessons to AI before it's too late. Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/gRTU6sGG

Yesterday we brought together practitioners and policymakers at the forefront of digital competition for an honest conversation about where we are and where we need to go. Two years into DMA enforcement, it’s clear well-designed and well-enforced digital competition regulation works. Since March 2024, Firefox has been selected over six million times via browser choice screens, and users who choose via a choice screen are five times more likely to stick. When you give people a genuine choice, they take it. The case for strong, principled digital competition regulation is just as much a global argument as it is a European one. The UK, Japan and Brazil are all acting, each driven by their own specific experience of what concentrated platform power does to competition, to consumers, and to domestic businesses' ability to compete. But the DMA work is far from done. Desktop has been largely overlooked. Cloud and AI are just getting started. And the window to act before AI distribution markets tip is now, and speed matters. Mozilla has always believed the internet works better when it is open, interoperable, and accessible to all. Yesterday reminded us we are not making that case alone. Watch this space for our forthcoming research on deceptive design patterns and what they mean for competition on desktop. Thank you to everyone in the room, and to our brilliant speakers for making it a conversation worth having.

This week Mozilla joined a coalition of business, civil society, and parliamentarians in signing an open letter asking the UK Government and the CMA to use the tools they have, more ambitiously and effectively. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act (DMCCA) was passed with overwhelming cross-party support. Yet more than a year after it came into force, progress is slow and effective enforcement is being overlooked in favor of voluntary commitments. Crucially, one of the most evidenced remedies available – well-designed browser choice screens – remains unimplemented. Browsers are increasingly vital as the layer where AI reaches people and products. Delaying deploying those tools now would risk ceding the next AI era to the big tech walled gardens the DMCCA was designed to fix. We are calling on the Government and CMA to urgently implement remedies, resource the Digital Markets Unit, and make the DMCCA deliver for UK startups, businesses, and consumers.

Pope Leo XIV just released the first encyclical in modern Church history dedicated to AI. Called Magnifica Humanitas ("Magnificent Humanity") it says something that too many in the tech industry have been afraid to say plainly: technology is never neutral. Too much power in too few hands is not just a market problem, it's a moral one. Pope Leo is one voice in a growing chorus that's bringing the question of AI power to the highest moral and political order. Welcome as that is, it's not enough.
