In a world flooded with data and driven by algorithms, how do we unlearn the narratives that limit what we imagine—and who we become? This Sunday at 11:30am CET Chelsea Manning invites us to explore exactly that. Drawing from her extraordinary journey—from military intelligence to public whistleblowing to life as a network security advocate—she shares how unlearning can be an act of courage, and a pathway to liberation. Join the conversation live online and be part of a global audience reimagining what the internet can be: open, transparent, and built with care.

Teaching #AI responsibly, when resources are limited Before we gather at the India #AIImpactSummit 2026, this official MozFest pre-summit session will ground the conversation in real classrooms. Instead of debating AI in theory, it brings together three educators who are already making responsible AI work: Dr. Chao Mbogho Dr. Eunice Njeri (Kenya) and @Dr. Joycelyne Streator (U.S.) moderated by Jibu Elias of Mozilla Foundation. Together, they’ll unpack what’s actually working in higher education when budgets, compute, and language support are limited — and how campuses everywhere can adapt. The panel will share four ingredients any university can copy: 🔹 Structured prompting tasks 🔹 Low-compute RAG activities for modest hardware 🔹 Multilingual and accessibility-aware design 🔹 Lightweight safety checks — for grounding, bias, toxicity, attribution, and explainability Join us at Mozilla Festival to explore how educators are making responsible AI real.

What if the systems we live in: the city grids, the scrolling feeds, the mental maps we cling to, are the very structures we must unlearn to reclaim ourselves from the system? In this evocative keynote, Jason Silva invites us to reimagine unlearning not as loss, but as liberation. Blending keynote, cinematic storytelling, and visionary thought, Silva explores what happens when we step outside the algorithms and embrace the raw immediacy of awe. Watch the keynote live on LinkedIn and step into a journey of unlearning, wonder, and renewal.

We are so pleased to have Barcelona as our Festival home for the next three years! Barcelona’s vibrant open-source and creative communities, and the City’s commitment to openness, innovation, and human-centered design reflects the same principles that drive our work. We look forward to building on that shared vision in the years to come.

Vasish Baungally and I wrote up how we built AI Tab Grouping for Firefox. Creating a private solution posed unique challenges, from generating data for training, to reducing model size for local inference. https://lnkd.in/gJYKZpVA

What’s your internet origin story? As Firefox turns 21, we pulled together what 21 very online people — Taylor Lorenz, Cassidy Williams, Matt Klein, Melanie Ehrenkranz, Javier Cabral and more — told us about the first online communities they joined. From AIM chat rooms to Neopets to fan forums, it's a throwback tour of the corners of the internet that many of us grew up with. Link in comments!

Join us live on Saturday for an unmissable #MozFest keynote with @JasonSilva — visionary storyteller and creator of Shots of Awe. In this cinematic, mind-bending session, Silva invites us to see unlearning not as loss, but as liberation. Through stories of movement, creativity, and radical self-discovery, he explores what happens when we step outside our algorithms and reclaim our sense of wonder. ✨ This is a manifesto for imagination — part philosophy, part art, all inspiration. Join the virtual stream and experience the geometry of insight for yourself. https://bit.ly/47p5j54

To open Mozilla Festival 2025, Imagination: A Manifesto author Dr. Ruha Benjamin will join Nabiha Syed, Mozilla Foundation Executive Director, for a conversation that redefines unlearning as a radical act of possibility. From the biases baked into our digital worlds to the myths that shape our laws and institutions, this conversation will explore how power operates through the stories we inherit—and how breaking free from them can unlock new ways of thinking and building. Watch the conversation live on LinkedIn and be part of reimagining what’s possible.
