Mozilla has been carving out a space for itself in this new and frightfully fast-growing world of AI. Last month, there was backlash when it announced that Firefox would "evolve into a modern AI browser." Since then, it seems Mozilla has been clarifying what exactly this means, possibly in an attempt to reassure those who are worried the browser might become too AI-centric. And now, it's even going as far as to characterise itself as helping build a "rebel alliance" against Big Tech.
The company has released an animation- and graphic-heavy roadmap and report, which in many ways reads like a very dramatic vision statement about how it can challenge the way that AI is developing at the hands of Big Tech. It's kind of bonkers, but in a way that I can't help but get on board with.
