How To MozFest: An Open Book

MozFest celebrates the diverse nature of what makes us inherently human and puts the communion back in community, with its belief in solidarity, community building and empathetic empowering change.

The key premise of algorithms is efficiency. Algorithms optimise data for decision-making that we previously did not have before. But humans are not efficient. We are messy and inherently flawed, which makes us human. We value serendipity, community and experiences, which may not be efficient but is impactful.

How can people trust apps and interactions they don’t quite understand? Trust is not the value implied here, but faith. And our faith in the organisations owning and managing these technologies dips a little bit every time we hear of the next cyber hack or when datasets are exploited, with little accountability and integrity in action.
