Pedro dos Santos Maia is a Political Science and International Relations scholar specializing in the governance and use of emerging technologies by governments and international organizations. He holds a PhD Magna Cum Laude from the Geneva Graduate Institute (IHEID) and is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Skema Business School and teaches at the European School of Political and Social Sciences part of Lille Catholic University. His work, published in journals such as Global Studies Quarterly and the Journal of European Public Policy, examines how technology companies, governments, and international organizations engage with AI and algorithmic technologies, and digital governance.

Emaan is a human rights practitioner focused on digital rights, the protection of women and children, and the rights of minority communities. As Programme Coordinator at Pakistan's National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR), she leads investigations into human rights abuses, including mob violence motivated by online hate speech, technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), and discrimination against minority communities in the labour market.

Emaan led Pakistan's first complaint cell for women journalists facing online harassment, and curates education and innovation experiences that bring together young people from different walks of life, faiths, and backgrounds to engage with technology, rights, and problem-solving. She is an organising committee member of the NetMission Academy and the Asia Pacific Youth Internet Governance Forum (APyIGF) 2026.

At Globethics, Emaan's fellowship project examines how AI is being used to harm minority communities, and how those harms can be reduced. She is interested in moving beyond diagnosis to practical guidance: helping communities recognise and push back against AI-driven harms, and equipping state actors and civil society organisations to respond effectively
