VERSES Demonstrates Smart Building Energy Optimization
Exhibition Showcases Multi-Agent Smart Grid Automation and Efficiency Management
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE:VERS) (OTCQB:VRSSF) ("VERSES'' or the "Company') a cognitive computing company specializing in next-generation intelligent software systems, announces the completion and exhibition of its work on sustainable building management, or smart homes, for the invite-only Turing Grand Challenge at AI UK 20251 on March 17th and 18th.
'We believe the challenge with today's rule-based energy control systems, such as smart homes, is that they are reactive and don't take into account other variables like hyper-local weather, multiple energy sources (grid, solar, battery), carbon emissions or room occupancy, and therefore they really aren't 'smart',' said VERSES CEO, Gabriel René. 'In this exhibition, we show how multiple agents working together can better predict which actions to take, given various trade-offs to achieve a desired goal. This might include deciding to switch a source of power from solar to electrical or preemptively adjust heating and cooling temperature based on weather conditions, occupancy, cost or efficiency goals.'
According to the US Department of Energy, buildings are responsible for 40% of global energy consumption and roughly one-third of that is wasted at a cost of $150 billion annually.2
The VERSES exhibit, entitled EcoNet: a Multi-Agent Active Inference System for Urban Energy Optimisation, is a joint effort between VERSES researchers and University College London (UCL), that addresses a key aspect of the environment and sustainability objectives of Turing Grand Challenge, which seeks to develop AI systems that can reduce the impacts of climate change by managing energy use effectively.
'We believe this demonstration of autonomous multi-agent coordination in a complex dynamic system like energy management is an ideal showcase for Genius,' said CTO Hari Thiruvengada. 'While this specific use case is applicable from studio apartments all the way up to skyscrapers and to large industrial buildings, the more general problem that Genius is designed to solve is generating reliable predictions in the face of complex, uncertain and changing conditions that can be applied across enterprises universally.'
The Company expects to share further details regarding the results of this test in an upcoming blog at Verses.ai.

OGN FRAUD ALERT: Organon & Co. Investors are Reminded of Ongoing Securities Fraud Class Action — Contact BFA Law by July 22 Legal Deadline (NYSE:OGN)
NEW YORK, June 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Organon & Co. (NYSE: OGN) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Organon you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting Investors have until July 22, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Organon securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and is captioned: Hauser v. Organon & Co., et al. , No. 25-cv-05322. Why was Organon Sued for Securities Fraud? Organon is a global healthcare company focused on women's health that has historically rewarded its shareholders with a healthy dividend. In October 2024, Organon completed a $1.2 billion acquisition of Dermavant, a biopharmaceutical company focused on dermatological conditions. As alleged, while the acquisition increased Organon's debt, the Company assured investors it would maintain its dividend, which Organon asserted was its '#1 capital allocation priority.' In truth, Organon had shifted its capital allocation priority after the Dermavant acquisition to focus on reducing its debt, ultimately leading the Company to severely cut its dividend. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On May 1, 2025, Organon announced that management reset the Company's dividend payout from $0.28 per share to $0.02 per share. Organon's CEO explained that the Company 'reset our capital allocation priorities to accelerate progress towards deleveraging' and that '[b]y deleveraging more rapidly, we will continue to strengthen the future prospects of the company.' Organon's CFO added, '[t]he biggest issues we face . . . relate to managing our leverage and relate to growth. And we need capital to solve both of those issues, and so returning capital to shareholders is right now, less of a priority.' On this news, the price of Organon stock declined roughly 27%, from $12.93 per share on April 30, 2025, to $9.45 per share on May 1, 2025. Click here if you suffered losses: What Can You Do? If you invested in Organon you may have legal options and are encouraged to submit your information to the firm. All representation is on a contingency fee basis, there is no cost to you. Shareholders are not responsible for any court costs or expenses of litigation. The firm will seek court approval for any potential fees and expenses.

IOVA FRAUD ALERT: Iovance Biotherapeutics Investors are Reminded of Ongoing Securities Fraud Class Action — Contact BFA Law by July 14 Legal Deadline (NASDAQ:IOVA)
NEW YORK, June 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: IOVA) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Iovance you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting Investors have until July 14, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Iovance securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and is captioned Sundaram v. Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc., et al. , No. 25-cv-04177. Why was Iovance Sued for Securities Fraud? Iovance is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of treatments for melanoma and other solid tumor cancers. The Company commercially launched its key melanoma treatment Amtagvi in February 2024. Iovance administers Amtagvi at the Company's authorized treatment centers ('ATCs'). As alleged, Iovance repeatedly touted its ATCs as a driver of demand for Amtagvi. In truth, Iovance's ATCs were experiencing long timelines to begin treating patients with Amtagvi, and ineffective patient identification and patient selection for treatment was causing high patient drop-offs at the ATCs. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On May 8, 2025, Iovance reported disappointing financial results for 1Q25 and announced it was 'revising full-year 2025 revenue guidance.' The Company blamed 'recent launch dynamics,' including slow 'treatment timelines for new ATCs' and 'the variable pace at which ATCs began treating patients,' which 'differs from center to center.' Iovance also blamed the poor results on high 'patient drop-off' due to inadequate 'patient selection' for treatment. On this news, the price of Iovance stock declined more than 44%, from $3.17 per share on May 8, 2025, to $1.75 per share on May 9, 2025. Click here if you suffered losses: What Can You Do?
