CEO Gabriel René and Analog CEO Alex Kipman to Host Webinar on Tuesday, October 1st at 1:00PM PT / 4:00PM ET
There’s no question that the Artificial Intelligence Megatrend is one of the largest opportunities of our lifetime.
The growth in the AI market has been truly astounding, with the industry projected to grow from $207 billion in 2023 to a staggering $2 trillion by the end of this decade.[1]
And McKinsey & Company project that AI could trigger a $25 trillion surge in global GDP, enhancing productivity across all market sectors and boosting the global economy by as much as 30%.[2]
But there’s a fundamental shift taking place in the AI landscape that most investors aren’t yet aware of.
And one innovative AI company, VERSES AI (CBOE: VERS); (OTCQB: VRSSF), right now stands at the forefront of this change.
Here’s what I mean:
In June 2024, the industry experts at Gartner published their comprehensive report on the state of the Artificial Intelligence market.
This report showed that the “hype cycle” Generative AI – such as ChatGPT, OpenAI and Gemini – has peaked.
This means that the big money in Generative AI has already been made…most likely by early investors and large institutions.
The window of investing opportunity has closed when it comes to Generative AI.
And in the immediate aftermath of this report, several AI-related stocks, including NVIDIA Corp., saw their shares drop.
This is because Gartner essentially confirmed what many had long suspected:
Generative AI investments are very costly and require NVIDIA chips, data centers and place an extraordinary burden on the power grid.
This tremendous expense, as we’ve seen, makes it difficult to expect a huge return on Generative AI at this stage of the game.
That’s what makes the opportunity with VERSES AI (CBOE: VERS); (OTCQB: VRSSF) such a potential game-changer.
That’s what makes the opportunity with VERSES AI (CBOE: VERS); (OTCQB: VRSSF) such a potential game-changer.
6 Key Reasons You Should Consider
Verses AI (CBOE: VERS); (OTCQB: VRSSF) TODAY
1. The AI megatrend is truly massive…and still growing. Since December 2022, the number of AI users has grown from 1 million to over 100 million. And the AI market is projected to grow from $207 billion in 2023 to $2 trillion by the end of this decade.
2. VERSES AI (CBOE: VERS); (OTCQB: VRSSF) offers investors a rare opportunity to invest in this better, faster and cheaper AI innovation. The experts at Gartner highlighted VERSES AI as one of just two publicly traded First Principles of AI vendors in their recent report.
3. A $10 Million investment from leading AI tech fund G42 serves as a confirmation of VERSES AI’s strong potential. G42 is a global leader in the AI world, and its recent financial commitment to VERSES AI shows that the company has taken great strides in developing its next-generation intelligent software systems. Investors should view this commitment as a significant indicator of VERSES AI’s outstanding upside potential.
4. The company’s “Genius™” platform is the world’s first generalizable intelligence. It’s a groundbreaking intelligent software system that combines the power of natural algorithms, knowledge modeling, and data transformation to create a more flexible and intelligent system. Genius™ can redefine general intelligence and pave the way to a super intelligent world.
5. VERSES AI is led by successful technology veterans and advised by some of the world’s leading scientists, including world renowned neuroscientist Dr. Karl Friston. The company is guided by an extremely deep team of technology veterans with decades of experience in Artificial Intelligence, IoT, robotics, VR/AR, enterprise software and global sales.
6. VERSES AI is quickly gaining validation and traction with many marquis names. Partners include the IEEE, the world’s largest standards organization, Dentons, one of the world’s largest law firms, the European Commission, NASA-funded JPL, several global pharma and automakers, and Blue Yonder, the world’s largest warehouse management company.
Better, Faster and Cheaper: The Next Window of Opportunity for AI Investors Has Just Opened
VERSES has emerged as an early leader in a new type of AI that is better, faster and cheaper than Generative AI.
This new type of AI involves Renormalizing Generative Models (RGMs) and it is rapidly emerging as a strong contender for replacing deep learning, reinforcement learning and Generative AI.
How do RGMs work?
Without getting too technical, RGMs address many foundational problems in artificial intelligence, including versatility, efficiency, explainability, and accuracy, using a physics-based approach.
This “new and improved” type of AI doesn’t require NVIDIA chips, data centers or massive amounts of power.
Again, it’s a new approach to AI that is better, faster and cheaper than Generative AI.
And Gartner’s report showed just how potentially lucrative this opportunity can be for investors.
Look at the chart below and you can see that the expectations for Generative AI have passed their peak and are now in the “trough of disillusionment.”
This shows clearly that the window of opportunity to make outsized gains in Generative AI stocks has closed.
But also on the chart below you can see that the window for a new type of AI, First Principles AI, has just begun to open in the innovation trigger phase.
This new type of AI – First Principles of AI – is in the same position that Generative AI was four years ago when Microsoft invested in OpenAI.
Here’s what I mean.
So that means investors looking to play the AI megatrend – which is still in its early stages – for maximum upside should be looking for the best way to invest in First Principles of AI.
Amazon, Netflix, Uber and Tesla are just some companies that were created using the “First Principles” approach.
In their recent report, Gartner listed all of the First Principles of AI vendors…but only two are publicly traded companies.
The first is NVIDIA Corporation, with its more than $3 trillion market cap…
And the second is VERSES AI (CBOE: VERS); (OTCQB: VRSSF), with a market cap of just over $200 million.
Which one do you think has the greater potential upside from its current position?
If you said VERSES AI, you’re not the only one – and that’s what makes the story even more exciting.
Because just a few days after Gartner released its report detailing the state of the AI “Hype Cycle”, one of the world’s largest AI funds – backed by a $1.5 billion investment from Microsoft – acquired a minority stake in VERSES AI.
Global Mega Fund Acquires Minority Stake in VERSES AI
G42 is a global leader in creating visionary artificial intelligence for a better tomorrow.
This forward-thinking AI fund was born in Abu Dhabi and has a global footprint. G42 champions AI as a powerful force for good and a tool to improve every aspect of life.
Backed by a US $1.5 billion investment from Microsoft, G42 is actively partnering with those companies it identifies as sharing in its mission for driving innovation and progress in the AI space.
G42 has partnerships with companies like OpenAI, Qualcomm and Cerebras, makers of the one of the fastest chips in the world… and yes, even NVIDIA.
In June 2024 – after months of due diligence on the company and its technology – G42 announced a US $10 million investment into VERSES AI (CBOE: VERS); (OTCQB: VRSSF).
BREAKING NEWS
VERSES GENIUS™ Outperforms OpenAI Model in Code-Breaking Challenge, “Mastermind”
On December 17, 2024, VERSES AI (CBOE: VERS); (OTCQB: VRSSF) revealed performance highlights of its flagship product Genius, winning the code-breaking game Mastermind in a side by side comparison with a leading generative AI model, OpenAI’s o1 Preview, which is positioned as an industry-leading reasoning model.
Over one hundred test runs, Genius consistently outperformed OpenAI’s o1-preview model one hundred and forty (140) times faster and more than five thousand times (5,000) cheaper.
The Race is On: How Verses AI (CBOE: VERS); (OTCQB: VRSSF) Stacks Up in the Cognitive Computing Race
VERSES is a Cognitive Computing company building a software platform, Genius™, that enables developers and companies to build and deploy a new generation of Intelligent Agents to power any connected device, from IoT sensors to autonomous vehicles and robotics.
Genius™ is a groundbreaking intelligent software system that will change how we work with information and make decisions. Unlike traditional computer programs that follow rigid rules, or current AI systems that lack memory and accuracy. Genius™ combines the power of natural algorithms, knowledge modeling and data transformation to create a more flexible and intelligent system.
Think of Genius™ as a super-smart “brain” that can process and understand complex information. It can take in structured and unstructured data and convert it into knowledge in an automated way, similar to how our brains process and organize information.
Genius™ can find connections between different pieces of information. It can spot hidden patterns, similarities and connections, even when the data is uncertain or incomplete. This means Genius™ can make very accurate predictions and give us insights to make better choices.
VERSES has laid out an extensive R&D roadmap for the coming year and expects to showcase its better, faster, cheaper technology against the current SOTA (state of the art) systems, demonstrating Genius as being orders of magnitude better on multiple fronts. The company is already proving that it can beat the industry standards in a fraction of the time, with a sliver of the data and with much less compute power (running on a Macbook Pro vs NVIDIA hardware).
Genius™ aims to be a better, faster, cheaper and safer solution to developing Autonomous and Intelligent Systems (AIS). Genius™ agents form causal reasoning and belief structures about the world, update those beliefs in real time, and then share those beliefs with other agents, creating a shared ecosystem of Distributed Intelligence.
Genius Beta Partners, like NASA-funded JPL and Volvo Cars, are in the process of validating the state-of-the-art AI technology.
Their Genius™ platform enables the dream of the smart city to become a reality.
Initial pilot revenue produced by Analog (funded by G42) for the Smart City Infrastructure project in the UAE is set to be the first to drive significant large-scale traction.
In a world that yearns for true AGI, Genius™ stands apart. It’s not just AI but an agent-based knowledge exchange system. With features like advanced adaptability, swarm intelligence, data privacy and security compliance and a user data exchange, Genius™ is set to redefine general intelligence and pave the way to a super intelligent world.
Artificial Intelligence has long been a promise. With Genius™, VERSES AI is turning that promise into a tangible reality.
And already, the company is reaching critical milestones that demonstrate the enormous potential of the Genius™ platform.
In December 2024, VERSES AI shared groundbreaking early results from the Atari 10k Challenge.
VERSES Atari 10K Challenge is an aggressive variant of the Atari 100K benchmark that aims to meet or exceed human-level performance across multiple Atari games using just 10k frames (90% less data) and a fraction of the compute with a single generalizable architecture than industry-leading approaches.
Preliminary results demonstrate that VERSES Active Inference-based, Bayesian models can achieve comparable or better performance than state-of-the-art reinforcement learning models such as the #1 ranked BBF (Bigger, Better, Faster) from Google’s Deepmind and other deep learning transformer-based models that power OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta’s to LLM’s and all Generative AI models across multiple games.
VERSES AI’s models are using 90% less data, 96% less compute and, resulting in models that are up to 97% smaller in size compared to IRIS, which is key to operating on low-power devices. In addition, VERSES model performance was conducted on the equivalent of a CPU vs the GPU architecture required for the other algorithms.
The Atari benchmarks come on the heels of VERSES sharing results demonstrating how an agent, powered by Genius, outperformed OpenAI’s o1-Preview, considered the industry-leading reasoning model on the code-breaking test Mastermind.
Genius consistently outperformed o1-Preview by reliably solving the code 100% of the time vs. o1-Preview’s 71% accuracy rate while performing 140 times faster and costing 5260 times less.
Industry Expert Proclaims: VERSES’ Genius Platform “Far Superior…They are Quickly Advancing to Become the ‘Apple of AI.’”
Momentum is building quickly as word begins to spread of the potential of VERSES’ Genius AI platform.
Just as the investment by one of the world’s largest AI funds, G42, provides validation from the investment side of the potential for VERSES, the company is now also getting critical validation from distributors.
Here’s what I mean:
Matthew Heaviside, a Director at IT giant Accenture, recently had this to say about the potential for VERSES:
VERSES began its Genius beta program in early 2024 and is continuing to work with a targeted group of developers and expects the program to expand with new partners moving forward.
The Company also announced completion of a research collaboration with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which successfully demonstrated cross-platform interoperability between Digital Twin (DT) systems for lunar explorations. The project is part of a research phase of the Genius beta program.
The Industry Standard: VERSES AI Receives IEEE Approval for its AI and Spatial Web Protocols
With any technology that becomes universally adapted, it’s important – in the early stages – that proper protocols are established in order to avoid potential chaos.
Think, for example, of the standards that have been established for electrical wiring…Bluetooth technology…internet protocol…and web page construction (HTML).
Without these standards, progress becomes difficult – and the companies who lead the way in the development of these standards can often enjoy a massive advantage in their industry.
That’s precisely what is happening now with VERSES AI.
In July 2024, the company announced that it had received approval from The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.
The IEEE and its members help establish critical technology standards and it has declared the development of a new standard for AI and the Spatial Web to be a “public imperative.”
The IEEE working group members have approved HSML and HSTP as the global standards for AI, IoT and robotic interoperability and governance.
VERSES AI’s patented protocols now have the potential to become established as the standard for AI and the Spatial Web…and that could be massive news for the potential growth of VERSES AI moving forward.
VERSES Completes Project with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Successfully Testing Lunar Rover and Module
In 2023, VERSES welcomed NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to its beta program for its Genius ™ platform.
And in August 2024, VERSES announced the completion of the first phase of its Digital Twin system interoperability project.
This was an impressive testing of the lunar rover and module using VERSES AI’s recently IEEE approved spatial web protocols.
VERSES, in partnership with the Spatial Web Foundation, worked with JPL researchers to model data using Spatial Web standards with the objective of allowing government agencies, private sector aerospace entities, and universities, each having different technology stacks, to collaborate in a unified real time simulation of the lunar surface.
This is believed to be the first demonstration of interoperability between distributed and disparate Digital Twin systems using the spatial web standard.
And why is this an important milestone for VERSES AI?
Simple: The lunar economy has been projected to grow into a $170 billion market in the next 20 years[6]. And VERSES AI is already at the forefront.
VERSES AI Is at the Forefront of the Rapidly Growing Market for Smart City Development
Driven by urbanization, efficient resource management, public safety, and energy optimization, governments around the world are increasingly adopting smart city initiatives to address the challenges of a growing population. These efforts are primarily focused on enhancing sorely needed infrastructure in critical areas such as mobility, utilities, safety, and healthcare.
