Current experience

Hello AI!

These days, it feels like AI is everywhere, all the time, and that we all need to start using AI for everything we do, from sending a message to a friend to making decisions and completing our usual work. This narrative can be extremely overwhelming.

Our Hello AI! experience, powered by Tactical Tech, answers everything you wanted to know about AI but were too afraid to ask. It aims to demystify AI, inspire critical reflection on its role in our lives and work, and provoke dialogue about its implications for society.

The current experience is part of the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) Community Cohesion program.

Available from 25 March 2026.

"Two decades ago, the global adoption of social media and the iPhone revolutionised the way the world connects and communicates. This moment reshaped our behaviours, transformed societal interactions, and laid the foundations for new global infrastructures. Now, as AI enters the fabric of our daily lives, we face a similar transformation, yet it is extremely hard to navigate.
But do we really understand what AI is, what its tools are capable of, and what the implications are? While AI offers powerful tools for creativity and efficiency, it also deepens our reliance on a few dominant Big Tech players who monetise data extraction and further entrench societal dependencies." Tactical Tech - Hello AI!
