Lydia Nobbs

I'm a Politics PhD Candidate as the New School for Social Research. I'm also a GIDEST Research Fellow and was a Heilbroner Center Graduate Fellow.

My dissertation research brings the political history of artificial intelligence technology to the fore, going back to the Cold War and Obama-era decisions. While AI technologies have long been embedded with state goals, today, regulatory agencies are struggling to find ways to intervene or even steer this technology towards beneficial societal outcomes. To understand why and to plan more effective policy interventions, my project examines critical junctures in AI history.

Beyond this, I have written on far-right transnational movements, New Zealand politics, and gig work/labor issues. I have taught courses on strategic design and management, US post-war history, US immigration policy, and games and game design.
