Fakespot Chat is part of Mozilla's broader AI initiatives, which include a $30 million commitment to build a startup and community called Mozilla.ai, aimed at creating an independent open-source AI ecosystem. The company has also hosted its first Responsible AI Challenge, encouraging developers to create trustworthy AI solutions. Despite the advanced technology, Mozilla acknowledges that the AI chatbot may not always provide accurate information and encourages users to submit feedback for improvements.
