Organizations have the advantage of daily consideration of ethical implications in decision-making, such as awarding fellowships, grants, and partnerships. The challenge lies in discerning the genuine commitment to ethical use of AI, as many claim to prioritize ethics and social good.

Despite diversity in opinions within organizations, the speaker highlights the prioritization of 'people over profit' as a guiding theme, emphasizing that this does not limit consideration to nonprofits.
According to Solana Larsen: “Too often, it feels like we have lost control of the internet to the interests of Big Tech, Big Data — and now Big AI.” In the latest season of Mozilla’s IRL podcast (edited by Solana), a number of stories are featured to highlight the trailblazers who are reclaiming power over AI to put people first. We discuss some of those stories along with the issues that they surface.
