TL;DR version:

We're still figuring out what our policies are regarding federation and moderation but illegal nasty shit is not allowed and it will never be and illegal non-nasty shit (I.E. software piracy, whistling a copyrighted song, etc ) is only allowed in external communities (for now).

Experimenting with local alt text generation in Firefox Nightly – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog (hacks.mozilla.org)
 
 

I think this way of implementing and using AI is actually good from all perspectives (probably except some legal aspects but I don't think Mozilla will add a legally grey feature). What do you think about it?

And I'm sorry if it's already posted here. I didn't find any posts on this topic myself

Mozilla Firefox new alt-text generator powered by "fully private on-device AI model" (hacks.mozilla.org)

New accessibility feature coming to Firefox, an "AI powered" alt-text generator.

"Starting in Firefox 130, we will automatically generate an alt text and let the user validate it. So every time an image is added, we get an array of pixels we pass to the ML engine and a few seconds after, we get a string corresponding to a description of this image (see the code).

...

Our alt text generator is far from perfect, but we want to take an iterative approach and improve it in the open.

...

We are currently working on improving the image-to-text datasets and model with what we’ve described in this blog post..."
