in Partnership with FatBrain AI
SINGAPORE, December 11, 2023 - Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) (“Genius Group” or the “Company”), a leading entrepreneur edtech and education group, today announced the launch of a full AI Education Ecosystem for Governments, Companies, Universities and Schools in Partnership with FatBrain AI.
FatBrain AI is an AI-driven SAAS company (OTCMKTS: LZGI), co-founded by serial entrepreneur, Peter B. Ritz, and executive chaired by Michael T. Moe, Founder and CEO of GSV, ASU-GSV Summit, GSV Ventures, an early investor in 16 out of 30 Edtech companies including Coursera, Chegg, ClassDojo, Course Hero, Masterclass, and Guild Education.
FatBrain AI delivers peer intelligence and hierarchical insights to connect GOV, F500 and SMEs (Companies with 500 or less employees) with a variety of sector-specific SAAS solutions. The partnership signed between Genius Group and FatBrain AI will enable the delivery of a full end-to-end AI Education Ecosystem which includes:
| ● | For Schools: Government and company funded AI camps and accelerators together with a scholarship fund for young students to learn future-focused skills, both virtual and in-person, personalized with their Genie AI. |
| ● | For Universities: Government and company funded future-focused AI-based training from one week AI Microschools through to full undergraduate and masters degree programs integrating with personalized gamified learning via Genie AI and Genius Metaversity, with learning libraries shared across participating students and institutions. |
| ● | For Companies: Full suite of upskilling courses in AI and Exponential Technologies, ranging from one week AI Microschools to three-month in-house accelerators, linked with the Genius Scholarship to connect student apprentices with entrepreneurs and employees, and linked to FatBrain AI’s SAAS solutions to share peer intelligence, industry trends and leaderboards. |
| ● | For Governments: A comprehensive AI Education Ecosystem providing participating cities, regions and national governments with a full AI-driven, lifelong learning system for future-focused education and upskilling, with direct benefits in increased skills, competitiveness and shared intelligence within the rapidly changing Age of AI and Exponential Technologies. |
The parties intend to launch globally the overarching AI Education Ecosystem in early 2024.
Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group said “Genius Group has been committed to delivering a full lifelong learning entrepreneurial education system using our AI Genie to provide a personalized path to prepare each student for the world of exponential growth we are experiencing. Increasingly, governments and larger companies are seeing the need for a full AI ecosystem. Genius Group is a Singapore-based company, and this week the Singapore Government released its National AI Strategy 2.0, with a plan for 15,000 AI experts and practitioners around AI Centers of Excellence.
This follows the United Kingdom’s announcement last month of a £300 million investment to create a national Artificial Intelligence Research Resource. These government plans require a full public-private partnership involving all stakeholders, and we’re excited to be partnering with FatBrain AI to deliver what we believe is one of the first full end-to-end solutions that benefit students, schools, companies and governments together.”
Peter B. Ritz, co-founder and CEO of FatBrain AI said, “Earlier this year we reported revenue growing by 130% Q/Q on average to $44+ million TTM across our group, and confirmed our expanded commitment to delivering AI-based SAAS solutions to take full advantage of the AI Revolution. Our partnership with Genius Group enables us to accelerate our own timeline by delivering the training alongside the peer intelligence that our clients are demanding. We are extremely excited about the growth that this will bring in 2024 and beyond.”
