Regine Paul serves as a Professor at the University of Groningen, specializing in the critical analysis of artificial intelligence's global political economy. Her work bridges technology studies and socioeconomic governance, examining how AI transformations intersect with power structures, institutional frameworks, and geopolitical dynamics across diverse national contexts.
Her research focuses on deconstructing dominant narratives about AI through four critical lenses: the role of political agency in technological governance, the influence of tech imaginaries on policy formation, the geopolitical competition among superpowers in AI development, and the uneven socioeconomic impacts across sectors and regions. She employs methodologies from critical political economy and economic geography to reveal how AI adoption refracts through local institutional settings, producing heterogeneous outcomes rather than uniform global transformations.
Professor Paul is currently developing a conceptual framework for analyzing AI's political economy through her forthcoming co-authored book The AI Matrix: Profits, Power, Politics. She actively contributes to the Politics of Proof in the Digital Age research group under the Gloknos Center for Global Knowledge Studies, where she examines how digital technologies reshape evidence production and knowledge validation in global governance contexts.
