Utopian visions of automated decision-making (ADM) promise new levels of personalisation, control and choice in our lives. Yet, we still know very little about how ADM is being incorporated, reinvented or resisted as part of everyday lives. Our guest speakers are researchers and industry partners from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S) a cross-disciplinary, national research centre, which aims to create the knowledge and strategies needed for responsible, ethical, and inclusive automated decision-making.

The Machine-Readable Renter

"Against the backdrop of the ongoing housing crisis, renters are increasingly interacting with digital technologies at every stage of their housing experience."

PhD researcher Samantha Floreani from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society at Monash University is conducting a study on the growing influence of digital technologies in the residential real estate sector.

These technologies—sometimes referred to as ‘RentTech’—include online rental application platforms (such as 2Apply, Sorted, Ignite, and Snug), property management apps (Kolmeo, Cubbi, ConsoleTenant), and rent payment platforms (Rental Rewards, Ailo, SimpleRent), among others. The research aims to explore how these technologies affect renters’ experiences and housing justice in Australia.
