Linda Przhedetsky

Linda is an interdisciplinary researcher specialising in emerging technology policy. She is currently completing a PhD at UTS Law, which focuses on regulating artificial intelligence and automated decision-making systems. She is particularly interested in how these technologies can be used to facilitate or compromise access to essential services such as housing.

Prior to returning to academia Linda worked as a policymaker and has extensive professional experience in government, advocacy, and consumer affairs. She is passionate about developing meaningful, high-impact research that directly contributes to Australia's policy landscape. Her research into housing and technology has informed government reform processes, and she currently sits on the NSW Rental Commissioner’s Industry Reference Group.

She is a Research Fellow at the Gradient Institute, and most recently held the role of Associate Professor at the Human Technology Institute. She is also a Board Director at the Tenants' Union NSW, and previously served as the Executive Director of the Consumers' Federation of Australia.

Linda’s work has been featured extensively in Australian media, including on the ABC, The Guardian, The Saturday Paper, SBS, The Financial Review, and more.
