Verses AI onboards chief product officer in push for AI product Genius
VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE: VERS) (OTCQB: VRSSF) promoted a Chief Product Officer to help narrow its focus on promoting and shipping its flagship artificial intelligence product, Genius.
Announced on Wednesday, the company promoted Hari Thiruvengada from his previous position of VP of Product to the new C-suite position to spearhead the company’s commercial progression, pushing towards the launch of Genius.
The company modelled its Genius Intelligence-as-a-service platform after a breakthrough in biological processes. Instead of relying on enormous data sets like traditional artificial intelligence, which excels at pattern recognition and reconstruction, Genius employs nature-inspired biological processes.
These processes generate agents that collaborate and exhibit the dynamic behaviours of autonomous intelligent systems. Furthermore, Genius actively manages uncertainty and risk as it works to create safe and sustainable environments at scale.
“I started my career in research and gravitated towards product management because I thoroughly enjoy nurturing emerging technologies into useful tools,” says Dr. Thiruvengada.
“I am pleased to apply my experience along with the discipline and rigor of product development to mature our research and technologies into commercial software.”
Thiruvengada holds a PhD in Industrial Engineering & Human Factors and an M.S. in Computer Science from Penn State, and he has over two decades of experience in research development and product management. The company has replaced the Chief Technology Officer role, previously held by Jason Fox who is no longer with the company, with the Chief Product Officer role.
