Genius Group and OpenExO Sign Merger Agreement, Accelerating Plans to Build Global AI Education Group - Seite 2

“Our Genius Group Board has tasked me as CEO to build the group to work towards achieving $1 billion in annual revenues, 100 million students – and now 100 Genius Cities, with a target of achieving this within the next decade. By combining forces, we will now be upgrading our annual growth rate, with an accelerated roadmap to achieve our goals.

OpenExO’s CEO, Salim Ismail said “In 2008 I was asked to be Founding Executive Director of Singularity University by its founders, Peter Diamandis and Ray Kurzweil. At the time, Ray, who had written the bestseller “The Singularity is Near” in 2005, was predicting we would reach Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), where AI would become smarter than humans by 2029. Few at the time believed we would advance that rapidly, largely because most humans think linearly while exponential technologies like AI progress exponentially. Now, here we are, with many believing we will reach AGI before Ray’s prediction.”

“We launched OpenExO to transform leaders and enterprises into exponential organizations with the ExO Model. By merging with Genius Group and FatBrain, we have an opportunity of integrating our communities and AI-driven tools to educate and accelerate organizations at every level. We believe this is an extremely exciting opportunity which is coming at a critical time for humanity.”

The transaction will close once the various closing conditions and necessary approvals, including, but not limited to, NYSE approval, are met.
