Benefit

Successful applications will be rewarded awards of up to $50,000 USD each out of a total pool of $300,000 USD.

Requirements

We imagine that the Bias and Transparency in AI Awards will support a variety of software projects (including utilities and frameworks), data sets, tools and design concepts.

We will not consider applications for policy or research projects (though software projects which leverage, support or amplify policy and research initiatives will be considered—for example, bias metrics and statistical analyses being turned into easy to use and interpret software implementations). Some example projects we can imagine:

  • Projects that help expose elements of how AI systems in consumer technology products work, the bias that may be inherent in them and/or how to mitigate the bias in these systems
  • Utilities that help developers understand and identify bias when building datasets and AI systems
  • Components that allow developers to provide more transparency to users on the inner workings of AI systems
  • Tools to help identify, understand and mitigate the bias inherent in publicly-available datasets

Eligibility

  • Have a product or working prototype in hand—projects which have not moved beyond the idea stage will not be considered
  • Already have a core team in place to support the development of the project (this team might include software developers working in close collaboration with AI researchers, designers, product/project managers and subject matter experts)
  • Embrace openness, transparency, and community stewardship as methodology
  • Make their work available under an open-source license

Applicants must meet the following requirements

  • Be legally able to receive funds in the form of a grant from the Mozilla Foundation (a U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit organization)
  • Be working towards solving a public interest problem or issue related to the focus of this Call for Proposals
  • Meet the criteria outlined in the ‘What are we looking for?’ section above
