Alongside her work as a novelist, Karo Rei is deeply engaged in AI ethics, political theory, and the institutional design of AI-driven crisis prediction systems.

She is preparing for admission to a university in Poland in 2027 to pursue Political Science, with a long-term research focus on how artificial intelligence can be integrated into democratic governance without undermining human autonomy.

Her primary academic interest lies in the development of AI-assisted early warning and risk assessment frameworks—systems designed to anticipate social instability, conflict escalation, economic shocks, and large-scale emergencies before they reach critical thresholds. Rather than replacing human decision-making, she is interested in models where AI functions as a stabilizing analytical layer within public institutions, enhancing foresight, accountability, and strategic resilience.

Her preparation includes ongoing academic work at a Japanese university and participation in study programs in Poland, building a foundation in political institutions, governance theory, and European security frameworks.
