With my #Mozilla Foundation #CommonVoice hat on, I'm delighted to be speaking in just under a fortnight at @pyconau about the #MozillaDataCollective, a new platform initiative that puts you in control of your #datasets.

Better #AI requires better #data - and better data requires collective, collaborative, co-created approaches: the Mozilla Data Collective.

Even as a know nothing fan of Mozilla ... never used anything other than Firefox ... I know that for any browser to operate the way we both want it to, our data must be collected ...

So the term "data collective" needs no introduction as that's been the case for all businesses forever ... The internet just makes it easier for business to 'know us' ...

It's the AI as we are coming to know it, that causes the most concern.

And any further "collective, collaborative, co-created approach" will need a helluva lot of explanation to be trusted ...

Can't attend but will be watching you :)
