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.

Every year Mozilla releases an Internet Health Report that combines research and stories exploring what it means for the internet to be healthy. This year's report is focused on AI. In this episode, Solana and Bridget from Mozilla join us to discuss the power dynamics of AI and the current state of AI worldwide. They highlight concerning trends in the application of this transformational technology along with positive signs of change.
This episode features two segments. First up, an interview with Solana Larsen and Bridget Todd, two of the folks behind Mozilla's https://2022.internethealthreport.org/ (Internet Health Report and its award-winning podcast), IRL. This year, Mozilla decided to publish its Internet Health Report as a series of podcast episodes delving into the experiences of people building AI and working on AI policy. The series digs into a range of topics, including surveillance, labor, healthcare, geospatial data, and disinformation in social media. The second segment features a discussion with William Frey, a researcher and Ph.D. candidate at Columbia University and the lead author of a new paper titled https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jora.12775 (Digital White Racial Socialization: Social Media and the Case of Whiteness).
Solana Larsen, editor of the 2022 Internet Health Report published by the Mozilla Foundation, joins the show to talk about the report and the direction of artificial intelligence. Max Cherny from Protocol stops by to talk about chiplets, what they are, and how they might impact future chip design. Jason talks about OpenAI and how they're ready to make DALL-E available to everyone... to those on its waiting list. Finally, Mikah talks about Amazon purchasing tech provider One Medical for $3.9 billion.

Solana Larsen is a journalist, editor and activist currently leading the Internet Health Report: Mozilla's open source initiative to document and explain the state of the Internet in various areas of global interest. We talked to Solana on the occasion of the Internet Health Report's third release. Her view on the health of the Internet swings from guarded optimism to hopeful pessimism in a fascinating way. Adding to that, her journalistic background and her contribution to initiatives like Global Voices and openDemocracy give Solana a unique perspective on topics like digital rights, digital literacy and Internet governance.
Solana Larsen, Luis Carlos Diaz Big technology companies have benefited from the openness of the Web to grow their businesses, but after consolidating power they are putting at risk the very feature that allowed them to grow so powerful: decentralization. A period of unprecedented creativity and expansion involving a diverse pool of companies, is now being followed by endless mergers and acquisitions and the centralization of data to dominate all other industries. Those with access to more data points and computational power dominate the World today and that presents pretty much a new form of colonialism, "digital colonialism". Their user base is larger than entire countries, but their aspirations of expansion are even larger. Their databases, centralised, getting a copy of each and everything you share online, your keystrokes, your activity in their platforms, the time you spend reading an article, what you buy, share, like or dislike online get larger, richer and more sophisticated by the day. The Web for Everyone become a Web for few to create, many to consume. New strategies to take back the Internet and really make it for everyone are necessary and our talk will unveil 10 key steps to get there.
