00:00:00.000 So I have some pretty exciting news to share.
00:00:02.980 Mozilla, the makers of Firefox,
00:00:05.020 is dropping a new season of their award-winning podcast
00:00:07.900 called IRL, Exploring Ethics in AI.
00:00:11.140 And I'm thrilled to let you know that I am hosting.
00:00:14.520 We'll hear stories from the tech and policy folks
00:00:16.900 who are shaping who has the power in AI.
00:00:19.720 Now, I have always been obsessed with Mozilla.
00:00:22.100 I love the organization.
00:00:23.500 So this project really means a lot to me.
00:00:25.540 And a funny story is that I actually taught myself
00:00:27.780 how to use Photoshop by watching a bunch of YouTube videos, specifically to create one of
00:00:33.660 those creative cover letters to apply for a very Hail Mary job at Mozilla many, many years ago.
00:00:40.120 I was definitely not qualified for that job, but here we are years later, and being a small part
00:00:46.080 of the work that they do is that much more of a dream come true. You can check out the podcast
00:00:50.740 at internethealthreport.org. I hope you'll take a listen, and here's the trailer.
00:00:54.980 Thanks to the internet, artificial intelligence is everywhere now.
00:01:02.300 Algorithms are making more and more of the decisions that shape our lives.
00:01:06.660 So let me ask you a question.
00:01:08.840 Who should have the power over AI?

00:01:32.820 You'll meet AI builders around the world who make AI more trustworthy in real life.
00:01:40.360 You will be able to challenge the algorithm.
00:01:43.140 Technology can solve some problems, but definitely technology can be part of the problem.
00:01:48.000 I have the power to walk away from it and not contribute to it.
00:01:50.880 And I have the power to try and change law.
00:01:54.880 This season, we're tapping into Mozilla's Internet Health Report
00:01:57.760 to learn who should have power over AI.
