Tactical Tech
Overview of the organization
Tactical Tech is a creative international non-profit with two decades of experience exploring technology's profound impact on our lives. Critical thinking, digital literacy and capacity building are the pillars of our work.
We co-develop forward-looking experiences, interventions, and educational tools that communities use to navigate and shape their social, political, and environmental futures within the context of digital acceleration. Since 2003, we have collaborated with communities worldwide who adapt, build on, and localise our resources to promote conversations and encourage proactive solutions. Our ultimate goal is to create interventions that contribute towards a digitally resilient society.
Project and activity overview
Tactical Tech's public engagement and educational projects, including "The Glass Room" (https://theglassroom.org/) and the "Data Detox Kit," (https://datadetoxkit.org/en/home) feature cutting-edge interventions and toolkits that engage communities in conversations about how rapid digitalization through data-driven, algorithmic and AI technologies impact people¡¯s lives and the world we live in. The projects provide knowledge and practical steps, enabling people to reshape their relationship with digital technologies. "What The Future Wants," (https://www.theglassroom.org/youth/) Tactical Tech's youth initiative invites young people to reflect and act on the digital world they want to live in.
Tactical Tech advances knowledge through projects like "The Influence Industry Project" (https://influenceindustry.org/), investigating and raising awareness about the use of digital technologies, including AI, for political purposes and "Exposing the Invisible" (https://exposingtheinvisible.org/), an initiative that provides investigative methods and tools in the frame of the digital acceleration. The public intervention "Everything Will Be Fine" (https://everythingfine.org/) delves into how people understand and respond to global crises like climate change and pandemics through the lens of technology. The "Technologies of Hope & Fear" (https://techpandemic.theglassroom.org/#) project explores tech and AI responses to the pandemic and their side effects.
