Human Tech Collective is an initiative that supports tech autonomy from a humanistic point of view.
By tech autonomy we mean the ability of individuals and organizations to understand, control and make informed decisions about the technology they use, rather than depending on it blindly.
Money, organizations (companies, associations, governments), and other constructs we create are tools, originally invented to facilitate human collaboration. But when we engage with them, we often end up treating these tools as goals in themselves.
Many people and organizations fall into dynamics where money, or the survival of the organization, becomes the goal. They forget that these were supposed to be tools for people to work together and improve their lives.
Human Tech Collective exists to promote the idea that technology and organizations should empower people and facilitate collaboration.
- Chatbot - A future generalized version of the Gary's Economics chatbot adapted to be re-usable for other projects.
- MCP Server - A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with Python that serves agenda data for an event.
- PyAssistant - A personal AI assistant built in Python from scratch.
- Debate Classifier - Master's thesis project: detecting discussion topics and opinion dynamics in online communities, using NLP and clustering techniques.
This is an initiative in its infancy. At this moment, we are collaborating with several people on a per-project basis. It is possible that in the future this will expand to become an organization (likely an association).
