01The problem
Feeling powerless about AI? You've been sold hype instead of literacy.
Most “AI education” today is marketing in disguise. Tech bros telling you to “just use the tools,” influencers chasing clicks, and CEOs hyping their next valuation.
None of it answers the questions that actually matter
Critical Audit
- 01
Who built this, and who actually profits?
- 02
What data was scraped to train it?
- 03
Whose labor is hidden behind the “magic”?
- 04
Why are we told this future is “inevitable”?
What you actually need is critical AI literacy: the clarity to question the hype, see who's pulling the strings, and decide for yourself how AI fits into your life and work.
That's exactly what The AI Survival Club is built for.

I joined because I wanted to deepen my understanding of AI ethics and find a community that, like me, is genuinely concerned about what we're seeing and its impact on society. What I found went far beyond learning. It's about AI literacy, collective thinking, questioning, and imagining better futures. We learn together and grow together, guided by Catha, who leads the discussions with so much clarity, depth, and generosity. The club has become one of my favorite moments of the month.

The book club is such a great space to have meaningful conversations and learn from each other. It's being very enriching to see beyond the technology and learn how it impacts our daily lives. Catharina is extremely knowledgeable and it's been a privilege to learn from her: structured, organised, thought provoking.

It's a delight to have these discussions and meetings. There is a lot of bias in the world, and I currently don't have many friends who show serious concerns about these topics, so having people to talk with and listen to is great!
