Artificial intelligence has been transformational for just about every industry. It’s also been incredibly beneficial for stocks such as VERSES AI (CBOE: VERS) (OTCQX: VRSSF), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), C3.AI (NYSE:AI) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD). Even better, the story is far from over.
Analysts at McKinsey say the AI market opportunity to swell to $17 trillion to $25 trillion by 2030. And, according to Grand View Research, the global AI market could grow from about $137 billion in 2022 to more than $1.81 trillion by 2030.
Companies, like VERSES AI, for example, are taking a different approach in its quest to build a truly transformational Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) model. Rather than take the “scale up” approach, VERSES AI is modeling technology after nature’s blueprint. In contrast to the “artificial” approaches to intelligence, VERSES AI’s technology is rooted in what is known as Natural Computing.
Natural Computing explores the computational mechanisms found in nature to design new algorithms, models, and architectures. Unlike traditional computer programs that follow rigid rules, or current AI systems that lack memory and accuracy. VERSES AI’s Genius combines the power of natural algorithms, knowledge modeling and data transformation to create a more flexible and intelligent system.

VERSES AI Inc., a cognitive computing company specializing in next generation intelligent systems, today announced a strategic partnership with goProdigii, LLC as a member of VERSES Genius™ beta program. Prodigii aims to leverage Genius’ advanced predictive and inferencing capabilities to develop intelligent solutions with an emphasis on sustainability planning and compliance with Fortune 1000 clients.
Prodigii helps companies meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) accounting standards, which includes reporting on environmental impact, fair labor practices, and ethical governance to help clients turn sustainability into a competitive edge, enhancing both brand reputation and operational efficiency. These ESG requirements can be cumbersome for Fortune 1000 companies and can directly affect their bottom line.
In order to effectively manage ESG accounting and reporting requirements, firms need to combine data from a variety of different sources to create clear, actionable insights and reports. Collecting and normalizing data across organizations is notoriously challenging and Genius provides tools to potentially streamline and automate this modeling process. Further, current solutions are typically a bespoke patchwork of various software, making them fragile and inflexible, whereas Genius is designed to be composable and reusable. Genius is also designed from the ground up to learn continually, in contrast to mainstream approaches that are pre-trained, static and known for generating unreliable results.
”A business consulting and analytics firm like Prodigii is a great example of who Genius was designed to benefit,” said James Hendrickson, COO of VERSES. “Genius will enable Prodigii to deliver more robust, resilient and scalable solutions by embedding adaptive intelligence into their platform.“
Andrew Tasker, co-founder and CEO of Prodigii, notes, “A recent McKinsey study* concluded that a strong sustainability commitment adds additional shareholder value for companies that also exceed their peers in growth and profitability. Sustainability is as complex as it is important, and we believe Genius can allow us to expand our capabilities and deepen our impact.”
