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.

Don't show me your AI. It is rude!

Marek Tuszynski (Tactical Tech) argues that the synthetic intimacy people develop with generative AI tools (an 'ELIZA effect') makes critical conversation about AI almost impossible: dependency forecloses critique. The piece curates 30 resources mapping AI's labor exploitation, environmental costs, military use, and concentration of power, framing AI critique as a moral and political project rather than a technical one.
