Federica Fedorczyk is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Democracy, Human Rights and AI at the Institute for Ethics in AI. In 2024, she obtained her Ph.D. in Criminal Law summa cum laude from the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, with a dissertation examining how AI is transforming the criminal justice system.
Before joining Oxford, Federica was a Postdoctoral Emile Noël Fellow at NYU and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the European Jean Monnet Center of Excellence on the Regulation of Robotics & AI. At the Institute, her work focuses on AI regulation and ethics through a humanistic lens. Her research investigates the top-down misuse of AI by governments and its implications for democracy and individual autonomy, while also exploring innovative regulatory pathways for the democratization of AI regulation.
Her broader research interests include the intersection of AI and the criminal justice system (such as smart prisons and digital rehabilitation) as well as gender-based crimes and discrimination, particularly in relation to emerging technologies.
