VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE:VERS) (OTCQX:VRSSF) ("VERSES'' or the
"Company”), a cognitive computing company specializing in the next
generation of artificial intelligence, announces the first of three
webinars in the series, “The Future of AI Governance,” hosted by
Dentons US.
The first webinar in the series will take place on Thursday,
September 28th at 10AM PST / 1PM EST / 7PM CET. To register for the
event or to access the "The Future of AI Global Governance” and its

“The Future of AI Governance” webinar series marks a step
forward in sharing the conclusions of the AI industry report, which
offers its perspective on global governance of artificial
intelligence (AI) and combines the legal expertise of a global law
firm, Dentons, the AI acumen of VERSES and guidance on
socio-technical standards from the Spatial Web Foundation. The
Company believes that socio-technical standards could set the stage
for enabling compliant, explainable and auditable behavior of smart
devices and systems.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with VERSES and the Spatial Web
Foundation on this webinar series. We hope this platform provides a
new way of thinking about AI regulation and policy insights for key
stakeholders as they wrestle with the right path forward on AI
regulation,” said Peter Stockburger, Partner at Dentons US LLP.
Part one of the three-part webinar series, “Policy,” will be
moderated by Eric Tanenblatt, Global Chair of Public Policy and
Regulation for Dentons. Speakers will include George Percivall,
Distinguished Engineering Fellow and Vice-Chair of IEEE Standards
Working Group for the Spatial Web; Gabriel René, CEO and Founder of
VERSES and Philippe Sayegh, Chief Adoption Officer for VERSES.
The report proposes an international rating system for
autonomous intelligent systems in an attempt to curb a potential
blind spot in regulatory efforts which are focused more on the
commercial activities of AI developers than the underlying
mechanisms of AI systems. The primary goal of the report is to
provide governments, regulators and legislators with a pragmatic
tool and framework that informs a roadmap for future policymaking
and compliance.
“We must address the challenge of governing potentially
self-regulating AI to ensure alignment with human values and
prevent likely risks. We believe that implementing global
socio-technical standards and establishing an international AI
regulatory sandbox will help industry participants in harnessing
the benefits of AI while safeguarding against its potential
perils," stated VERSES CEO, Gabriel René.
