Former Icelandic minister joins Fenris Creations to lead new AI partnerships

Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir discusses how she intends to "contribute to the changes AI is bringing" by conducting autonomous AI research in Eve Frontier

Fenris Creations has appointed former Icelandic minister Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir as senior director for AI partnerships.

Sigurbjörnsdóttir will lead a new research initiative for Eve Frontier, collaborating with AI laboratories, universities, policymakers, and strategic partners.

Sigurbjörnsdóttir was elected to parliament in 2016 and became Iceland's youngest Minister of Justice in 2019. She was appointed Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation in 2021, serving until December 2024.

She resigned as an MP in June after a leave of absence to attend Columbia University, which reinforced her belief that "public service experience can create value in many different arenas," including the evolving field of artificial intelligence.

"When I left politics, I said I wanted to contribute to the changes AI is bringing," Sigurbjörnsdóttir tells GamesIndustry.biz. "Having seen how policy is made and implemented, I know how badly decision-makers need evidence about how these systems actually behave, and this is where that evidence can be produced. I look forward to helping Fenris take the work forward responsibly."

This research will examine how autonomous AI systems set objectives, adapt to changing conditions, and make decisions over extended periods.

"Autonomous AI agents are already moving out of research labs and into real economies, and we don't know whether they stay aligned with what people actually want, or how they will behave once the stakes are real," says Sigurbjörnsdóttir.
