Lily Edinam Botsyoe

Lily Edinam Botsyoe

Dr. Lily Edinam Botsyoe is an international trust and safety researcher and policy strategist working at the intersection of privacy, behavioral design, and AI governance.

Her doctoral research, completed at the University of Cincinnati's Civic Tech Lab, examines privacy nudging mechanisms and empirical policy evaluation. Using systematic literature reviews and empirical evaluation methods, her work identifies which privacy architectures substantively protect users and which merely satisfy a disclosure requirement. She serves on the Advisory Council of the American Registry for Internet Numbers and has worked in Security Tooling and Security Risk Management at Salesforce.
She is also a former Adjunct Instructor at the University of Cincinnati and a faculty member for the Trust & Safety Africa Academy. Dr. Botsyoe is the coordinator for the Ghana Youth Internet Governance Forum, with steering committee roles across the West African and African Youth Internet Governance Forums.
