- 0:48are working to build a better future for AI, then we'll dive
- 0:51into latest developments surrounding the leak of Twitter
- 0:54source, code and explore the potential implications of this
- 0:57leak for the future of Twitter and all of social media.
- 1:03Now, in the world of technology, artificial Intelligence has been
- 1:06one of the biggest Buzz words of the past few years.
- 1:09And from self-driving, cars to voice, assistants AI is changing
- 1:13the way we interact with technology and the world around
- 1:16us. But with great power comes great
- 1:18responsibility. At the potential risks and
- 1:21consequences of unchecked. AI development have raised
- 1:24concerns among many people. That's where, Mozilla, the
- 1:28company behind the popular browser.
- 1:30Firefox comes in, in January of twenty twenty-three Mozilla
- 1:34announced the creation, Creation of a new startup called Mozilla,
- 1:37dad AI, which aims to build a trustworthy independent in
- 1:41open-source AI ecosystem. The company you will receive an
- 1:44initial investment of 30 million dollars for Mozilla.
- 1:48It will be led by managing director, most Rave and academic
- 1:52at Imperial College in lse, with over a decade of experience,
- 1:55working on the particular applications of cutting-edge AI.
- 2:00Now, the creation of Mozilla wi is part of Mozilla has ongoing
- 2:04efforts to create more responsible AI, the company has
- 2:07been mobilizing, its Community debauch.
- 2:10You meant, what's broken in invest, in startups, that are
- 2:13trying to build trustworthy. I now believe Mozilla believes
- 2:17that this new inflection point, in AI offers, a real opportunity
- 2:20to build technology with different values.
- 2:23New incentives, and a better ownership Model.
- 2:26A has become one of the most talked about Technologies in
- 2:30Years with this potential to change the way we work
- 2:33communicate and live our lives from virtual assistants like
- 2:37Siri an Alexa to self-driving. Cars AI is transforming
- 2:40Industries and driving Innovation.
- 2:42It is the potential to bring about significant benefits from
- 2:46improving Healthcare reduced, traffic and more.
- 2:50But AI also raises important questions about its impact on
- 2:53society. And what are the biggest
- 2:55concerns about? AI is its potential to automate
- 2:58jobs and displace workers. And according To a report from
- 3:01the world economic Forum. Ai and other technological,
- 3:04advancements could replace and displace around. 75 million jobs
- 3:09by 2020 to while new jobs are also likely to be created.
- 3:14The pace of change could lead to the significant period of
- 3:18adjustments. With some people left behind.
- 3:20There are also concerns about the impact of AI on privacy
- 3:24security and democracy with the potential of AI to be used to
- 3:28manipulate public opinion. And also, Influence elections.
- 3:33Now, another concern is the potential for AI to perpetuate
- 3:36and amplify existing biases inequalities.
- 3:39For example, if an AI system is trending to add bias data, it
- 3:43will learn and reinforce those biases, potentially leading to
- 3:47discrimination, and inequality. There are also concerns about
- 3:50the potential for AI to exacerbate, inequality, by
- 3:53concentrating power and wealth in the hands of a few tech
- 3:57companies and individuals. Given the potential risks and
- 4:00consequences of unchecked AI development.
- 4:03There's a growing consensus that a I must be developed in a
- 4:07responsible and trustworthy way or trustworthy.
- 4:10AI is AI. That is ethical transparent and
- 4:14accountable and that's designed to promote human well-being and
- 4:17benefit society as a whole. And at the core of trustworthy,
- 4:21I is the need for human agency in the interests of users, to be
- 4:25prioritized. Users must have control over how
- 4:28their Data is used be able to make informed decisions about
- 4:31the use of AI transparency is also essential with users
- 4:35needing to understand how AI systems work and how they're
- 4:39being used. Accountability is also important
- 4:42with those responsible for developing and deploying AI
- 4:44systems being held accountable for any negative impacts and the
- 4:49creation of trustworthy, AI requires a collaborative and
- 4:53interdisciplinary approach involving stakeholders from
- 4:56across society and it Also requires a commitment to
- 5:00open-source principles, the sharing of knowledge and
- 5:02resources being essential for building trustworthy.
- 5:06AI systems Mozilla has been at the Forefront of efforts to
- 5:10create more responsibly. I and the creation of Mozilla
- 5:13that AI is the latest step in this ongoing effort, the company
- 5:17believes that the new inflection point may I offer us a real
- 5:20opportunity to build technology with different values.
- 5:24New incentives, and better ownership model all over.
- 5:27Mozilla. Yeah, I will make it easy to
- 5:30develop trustworthy. I products with a focus on tools
- 5:33that make generative AI safer and more transparent and
- 5:37people-centric recommendation systems that don't miss inform
- 5:41or undermine our well-being, as people.
- 5:45Now, what are the key goals of Mozilla AI is to create an
- 5:48independent decentralized and trustworthy AI ecosystem.
- 5:52That serves as a kind of counterweight to the current
- 5:55status quo, dominated by big Tech Check and Cloud companies
- 5:59and Mozilla believes that the most significant work and
- 6:01investment in AI is happening the same old way and that a
- 6:05group of smart. Dedicated, people can turn the
- 6:07tide and create a better. AI ecosystem and Mozilla dot AI
- 6:13is not just a start-up. Also, a community of like-minded
- 6:17Founders developers, scientists product managers and Builders
- 6:21who share a vision for trustworthy.
- 6:23I and Mozilla believes that the community working collectively.
- 6:27Turn the tide and created independent decentralized and
- 6:31also human trusted AI ecosystem. Now the future of trustworthy AI
- 6:37is in question here too. It's an important step forward
- 6:41in the department of responsible development of AI.
- 6:45Trustworthy AI is essential for the potential benefits of AI and
- 6:52that the realize in the the risks and consequences are
- 6:55minimized. Now Mozilla has it meant to
- 6:58create an independent decentralized and trustworthy
- 7:01AI, ecosystems reflects a broader movement towards more
- 7:04responsible and ethical AI development for people.
- 7:09Now, the creation of this system is likely to be shaped by a
- 7:14range of factors, including technological advancements,
- 7:17regulatory Frameworks and societal attitudes.
- 7:21And as AI continues to evolve and mature, it'll be essential
- 7:24to prioritize the development of trustworthy.
- 7:28AI systems. The promote human well-being and
- 7:31benefit society as a whole. Now let's shift our focus a
- 7:36little bit to Twitter Twitter's faced yet another hurdle.
- 7:40So it's Elon musk's tumultuous forty four billion dollar
- 7:44takeover of the social media site.
- 7:45Last year, according to court, filings pieces of the computer
- 7:50code that's used to run. Twitter were leaked online.
- 7:54A user identified as quote, free speech, and Susie assist.
- 7:58It's shared excerpts of Twitter source code without permission
- 8:01on the software collaboration, platform.
- 8:03Get Hub. Twitter issued a subpoena on
- 8:05March 24th to get Hub to identify the person responsible
- 8:09for sharing the code. Now, get Hub, complied with
- 8:13sweaters, request and remove the code.
- 8:15The same day a spokesperson for GitHub, said the company
- 8:19publicly shares all dmca takedowns, which occur when
- 8:22content is removed from the website at the request of a
- 8:25copyright holder includes in this.
- 8:28Transparency report. Now, it's unclear.
- 8:30If the source code used to recommended tweets, is part of
- 8:33the leek. However, Elon Musk has
- 8:36previously claimed, the Twitter will open source.
- 8:38The code used to recommend tweets on March 31st of this
- 8:42year. It's only a few days away and
- 8:44musk expects. People will find quote, silly
- 8:47issues, and provide code. Transparency will be incredibly
- 8:51embarrassing at first. Now, this latest hurdle, as to
- 8:55the already tumultuous time, the Twitter is faced since musk's

- 9:36raises new concerns about Twitter Security in the
- 9:39potential for data leaks and data.

- 9:43on the issue, but the company will likely face increased
- 9:47scrutiny and pressure to a crease, there are security and
- 9:51address the concerns in the future.
- 9:54Now, the leaking of source code is not a new phenomenon happened
- 9:58since the beginning of source code.
- 9:59And many companies its face similar issues in the past.
- 10:02However, the fact that this has happened to Twitter, a major
- 10:05social media platform, underscores the importance of
- 10:08security and the need for companies to take proactive
- 10:11measures to protect their data and the users in a social media
