Dr. Eirliani Abdul Rahman recently graduated from the doctoral program in public health at Harvard University. She is currently a Research Affiliate at the University of Cambridge’s Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy and was a New America Open Technology Institute Fellow. A member of the inaugural cohort of "Harvard Students in AI" program hosted by the Berkman Klein Center, she has received fellowships and awards from Harvard.

Since its inception in 2016, she was a founding member of Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council as an expert on child online safety. In December 2022, Eirliani made global headlines following her resignation from the Council, to protest the meteoric rise in hate speech after Elon Musk’s purchase of the platform. In response, Musk dissolved the Council. Her work has been profiled by inter alia, the BBC, CBC, NPR, Slate, Harvard Public Health, and Business Insider.
