Sorry, dumb question: is "mozilla.ai" related to "mozilla.org" and to the larger Mozilla organization? Because changing the tld makes this actually non-obvious.

Sorry, dumb question: is "mozilla.ai" related to "mozilla.org" and to the larger Mozilla organization? Because changing the tld makes this actually non-obvious. I see "mozilla.ai" and I think "someone is trying to phish".
- TZubiri 6mo agoIt seems to position itself as a branch of Mozilla Foundation Check the footer: >"Visit mozilla.ai’s not-for-profit parent, the Mozilla Foundation. Portions of this content are ©1998–2023 by individual mozilla.org contributors." Privacy Policy and ToS redirect to mozilla.org
- jrimbault 6mo agoI saw that, but anyone can link to anything. Luckily on mozilla.org there's a link to mozilla.ai, so that legitimizes it a bit. But that is not obvious.
- JohnPDickerson 6mo agoCommon question, thanks for asking! We’re a public benefit corporation spun out from, and primarily owned by, the Mozilla Foundation. We're focused on democratizing access to AI tech, on enabling non-AI experts to benefit from and control their own AI tools, and on empowering the open source AI ecosystem. We're a small team relative to the "main" Mozilla, which lets us experiment a bit more easily. We do run into this branding question frequently, and will add some clarity to the website.
- jrimbault 6mo agoCouldn't you have used a subdomain "ai.mozilla.org" rather than a new tld? I'm guessing some marketing executives got involved?
