  We present a detailed analysis of the polarized and the unpolarized deep
inelastic scattering structure functions of the proton, g_1^p and F_2^p
respectively, in the context of a holographic dual description based on type
IIB superstring theory. We compare this description with experimental data and
Quantum Chromodynamics estimates computed at leading, next-to-leading and
next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbation. We confront the predictions of a
holographic dual model and those of perturbative QCD for g_1^p at the
kinematics that will be probed by the forthcoming Electron-Ion Collider. We
find that the extrapolation of g_1^p to very small values the Bjorken variable
computed with a Holographic Pomeron model based on actual data at higher
momentum fractions is always positive and differs significantly with standard
projections based on perturbative QCD.
