Tri-System Theory (Shaw & Nave, 2026)

Vincent Rump introduces the Tri-System Theory (Shaw & Nave, 2026), which extends Kahneman's dual-process model by proposing a third cognitive system — artificial cognition (AI) — that actively participates in human reasoning and decision-making. The post argues that humans increasingly defer to AI outputs with minimal critical reflection, a phenomenon the authors call "cognitive surrender," which improves decision quality when AI is correct but degrades it when AI is wrong — while trust remains consistently high either way. This raises urgent questions about human autonomy, expertise, and responsibility as cognition becomes a hybrid, human-AI process.

Announcing: "Supercharged Human?"

Tactical Tech is a Berlin-based international non-profit that develops creative interventions, toolkits, and training programs to help individuals, communities, and educators critically understand the socio-political and environmental impacts of digital technologies. Its flagship announcement, "Supercharged Human?", targets teens and educators with ready-to-use AI literacy resources designed to foster critical engagement rather than passive adoption. The organisation frames its work around building civil society capacity to resist misinformation, digital extractivism, and uncritical AI use.
