Navneet Gidda

Head of Strategic Communications
Minderoo Centre for Technology & Democracy

Navneet is a multidisciplinary strategic communications expert. She has led political communications strategies, across digital and traditional media, for charities, elected representatives, and think tanks.

Navneet’s work and personal ethos are influenced by the history of art, literature, and moral philosophy. She is interested in narrative in public policy, and particularly how absurd and dystopian stories inform how governments imagine the future. Navneet’s current research interests lie in the realm of emerging AI technologies, corporate misconduct, and the global governance of big tech. In her work, she considers how nations can regulate – and provide new public imaginaries – about AI technologies that are disrupting the way we live and threatening our civil liberties.

Navneet’s work bridges the gap between communications, governance, and the law to push back against big tech’s visions of the future, and produce tech policy that truly works for people.
