AI is changing how we search, shop and make decisions. In traditional search, ads were labeled. In AI, the lines blur. A chatbot's suggestion can seem like helpful advice, when really it's a strategically placed paid advertisement. Without transparency, people won't know the difference. In a new piece, Mozilla's Anthony Enzor-DeMeo explores what's at stake as ads enter AI and why the future of AI must be built on clear disclosures, data protection and user control. 🔎 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/gF8U_nZr

RIP, AOL dial-up 🛜
On September 30, North America's OG dial-up Internet provider will log-off for good. AOL's iconic pshhkkkkingkakingtshchchchchcchdingdingding signaled endless possibility. It was the spark to connect, create, and collaborate with the world. This October we're celebrating that same weird and wonderful internet-energy in the form of original audio and visual tracks—all inspired by the sound of dial-up. Stay tuned. Sounds dropping soon 🎧 #MakeGoodTech #dialup #aoldialup #Internet #tech

Mozillians have been hitting the stage recently, engaging in some important conversations around how to keep the internet open and secure, the future of AI, and intriguing career paths. At the Women In Product conference in the Bay Area, we had the privilege of being a title sponsor. It was incredible to hear from some of our amazing product leaders, Carolyn O'Hara and Sally Richardson, who shared their unconventional paths into product. Their stories resonated deeply with attendees, and the energy around our presence was electric. Suba Vasudevan also took the stage to share a few pragmatic ways to help translate AI-hype into clear strategy, highlighting that operationalizing GenAI starts with problem clarity. Her talk sparked conversations that continued long after the keynote wrapped. My favorite soundbite? “Don’t just product manage the feature—product manage the culture.” Meanwhile, in New York, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo joined the Fast Company Innovation Festival to debate one of the most pressing issues of our time: how to keep the internet open and secure. It was a powerful conversation that underscored Mozilla’s commitment to building a healthier internet ecosystem. During the conversation, Anthony made a prediction that the overarching narrative of security will transition from one of privacy to data protection and choice, and shared his thinking on how we get users into a place where they control what data is accessed by AI. Every day the team at Mozilla Corp are working hard to shape the future of technology in a positive way for humans around the world, and it’s great to see that story being told by these inspiring leaders.

My thirteen years of work in three words 👉 stories move mountains. I have lived to see the shifts. Here's one I cannot stop recommending enough (and wishing I had made it first!). Props to Aranay Sahay for the beautiful film 'Humans in the Loop'.

It's all over my Insta feed, but for the LI crowd. This new film looks great and possibly one of the first few we're seeing out of India on this topic. Imho, most things in AI rn are best captured in and by culture. https://lnkd.in/eNmdj5ut

This is your regular reminder that data is power, and everyone should have control over their own data – or at the very least, a clear understanding of what's being collected and how it's being used. This week the issue is cars and data. Eric and the team from More Perfect Union took a deep dive into how your car is collecting your data – and how it's making insurance premiums way more expensive. I make a little cameo in there, talking about the automotive industry's issue with overcollection of data – and their atrocious approach to privacy. https://lnkd.in/eUsd-hTZ

Had a great time speaking at Fast Company's Innovation Festival! In this new world of AI, I anticipate the narrative of privacy will shift toward data protection and choice. See a clip here: https://lnkd.in/e4JaGpac
