San Diego, United States, September 9, 2026 -- QGI Names Founder Dr. Sam Sammane Chief Executive Officer

Founder and architect of the company's deterministic AI platform takes the helm as QGI moves into commercial release across regulated industries.

Dr. Sam Sammane Chief Executive Officer of QGI

San Diego, California — [09/09/2026] — Quantum General Intelligence, Inc. (QGI) today announced that its founder and Executive Chairman, Dr. Sam Sammane, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Dr. Sammane, who designed the company's core technology, will continue to lead research and engineering alongside co-founder MhD Waseem Al Sammane, Chief Innovation Officer.

The appointment follows the departure of Dain Ehring, who has stepped down as Chief Executive Officer. The company thanks him for his contribution during its formation.

The problem QGI was built to solve

Generative AI has transformed how software is written, how documents are drafted and how information is retrieved. It has not transformed the industries that need it most — because in those industries, an answer that cannot be explained is an answer that cannot be used.

A lender must be able to show a regulator why a loan was approved or declined. A pharmaceutical manufacturer must be able to demonstrate to an inspector that every batch record was reviewed against the correct standard. A compliance officer must be able to reproduce, months later, exactly how a decision was reached. Probabilistic models that produce different outputs from the same inputs, and that cannot show their reasoning, fail these tests by design.

QGI was founded on a different premise: that AI can be deterministic — producing the same result from the same inputs every time — and explainable, with every step of reasoning open to inspection. Not as a constraint on capability, but as the foundation for deploying AI where the stakes are highest.

The technology

QGI's platform combines neural and symbolic reasoning in a single architecture. Neural models handle perception, language and pattern recognition. A symbolic reasoning layer applies rules, constraints and formal logic, producing decisions that can be traced, audited and reproduced.

At the centre of the platform is QGI's memory engine, built on a hypergraph architecture that integrates diverse data sources into a single, queryable structure. The engine allows the platform to hold context across sessions, connect information across documents and systems, and reason over structured and unstructured data together — with materially lower latency than conventional retrieval approaches.

The platform runs on QGI's own proprietary models, including QGI Ultra, designed for transparency and reproducibility, and works alongside leading external models where customers prefer them. It exposes a full SDK, API and agent framework, so that customers and partners can build their own applications, agents and workflows on the platform rather than waiting for QGI to build them.

The result is a system in which AI can be given real responsibility in regulated environments: reviewing documents against rules, extracting and validating data, flagging exceptions, and producing outputs that stand up to audit.

The product portfolio

QGI is moving from development into commercial release across a set of products built on the same platform:

QGI Studio — a browser-based workspace that lets anyone build, test and run applications and agents on the platform with no installation and no infrastructure. Users sign in, describe what they need, and produce working applications in a session.

Deep GMP — a compliance and audit environment for FDA-regulated industries, supporting batch record review, inspection readiness and regulatory audit. Launched in partnership with an established FDA-inspection consultancy.

QGI Finance — an edition built for regulated lenders, servicers and compliance functions, supporting loan file review, pre-purchase audit, document validation and rules-based decisioning. In beta, with full release targeted for October.

Vertical applications — the platform allows industry-specific applications to be built and deployed in days rather than months. Further editions are in development for clinical trials, life sciences quality, and public-sector Private AI use.

Deployment — the platform is available as a hosted service and as a private, on-premises or air-gapped deployment for organizations with data-residency, sovereignty or security requirements.

Leadership

"I started this company because I believed AI could be held to a real standard of accountability, and that the industries which needed that most were being offered the least of it," said Dr. Sammane. "We now have a platform that does what we set out to build. It gives the same answer every time, it shows its work, and it can be deployed where the data has to stay. My job as CEO is simple: ship it, put it in customers' hands, and prove in production that explainable AI is not a compromise but an advantage."

"Sam designed this architecture and he understands it more deeply than anyone," said MhD Waseem Al Sammane, co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer. "We have spent the last year making the engine work. The next year is about making it matter to customers. Having the person who built the technology leading the company is exactly right for that stage."

About Dr. Sam Sammane

Dr. Sammané is a three-time founder, scientist and technologist with more than two decades of experience building and scaling technology companies.

His background spans regulated industries: he has built software for FDA-regulated environments and led organizations through SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance, experience that directly informed QGI's design.

He leads the company's research, engineering and product direction, and is a frequent speaker on explainable and accountable AI.

Body and soul, between heaven and earth

Body and soul, between heaven and earth

All Souls’ Day could possibly be more than its traditional concept. We hope that we touch the people we cherish through prayer — somewhere far away. And we visit them where they have left their bodies. We bring flowers to where their bodies rest. And in silence and gratitude, we pause while reminiscing about our shared memories. Two in one But what if the body is in the soul and yet the soul is inside the body? You see, those who have had near-death experiences, those very souls who have stood between the heavenly and earthly realms, tell us it is so. Those who were in life-and-death situations leave their bodies and yet feel they are more embodied than ever. They are overcome with a lightness of being, moving at a speed that is faster than light. They have a glimpse of pure freedom and joy. They see the hospital room and their bodies from above and feel no pain. They are given an instant sense of clarity that their body was living inside a much larger field. And at the same time, they feel their soul was always inside their body — tucked into every breath. A relative who survived a near-fatal heart attack told me, “I was not inside my body. My body was inside me.” A contradiction, perhaps. But it was his truth. Our soul is inside the body. That is why a cut can make you feel bad and why sickness can cause one to feel helpless. This is also the reason why a hand held in yours is not only comforting to the touch but also stirs something much deeper inside of you. It is love, something unseen that touches the spirit. And your body is inside your soul. This is why, when you love someone, you feel larger than life. And why, when you grieve, you do not seem to fit inside your body of skin. It is clear that body and soul are interconnected. Beyond walking There are two kinds of walking. Walking with the body — muscle, heart, bone. You count your strides and sweat all the way up to 3,000 steps. The body needs to be trained to endure in order to get stronger. And there is walking with the soul — when you walk long enough that your mind becomes still, unmuddled by everyday stress. Your feet find a familiar rhythm. Your breath deepens. This is when your soul catches up and walks with you. You see, the first walk burns calories, while the second walk burns the illusion that you are alone. People who return from the threshold are made to go back. Their mission isn’t over. They never talk about it as a dimension that is far away. They know it as some place close by. It is the very breath inside you — and you inside the breath. On All Souls’ Day, try to walk both walks. Walk with your body to the cemetery. And keep walking with your soul. Walk until you feel that you have never left your dearly departed loved ones. Nor have they left you. You are still inside their love. And they are still inside you. Between here and the hereafter, there is not a wall. There is a path. And we are all walking it — body and soul. Affirmation: “Heaven is within me.” Luke 17:21, KJV: “The kingdom of God is within you.” Love and light.

UK hydration brand enters Asia through Philippine market

UK hydration brand Vidrate has entered the Asian market through the Philippines, marking its first expansion into the region in partnership with CTC Group Philippines. The launch was celebrated at “Get Vidrated,” an event held at the Pool House of Grand Hyatt Manila that featured yoga, sound healing, recovery stations and product demonstrations. Sarah Hulton, British Ambassador to the Philippines and Palau, attended the event and highlighted the United Kingdom’s strengths in health, science and consumer-product innovation. She noted that British businesses and entrepreneurs are developing products that help people lead healthier, more active lives. Hulton described Vidrate’s Philippine launch as an example of British innovation meeting Philippine entrepreneurship and market expertise. She also underscored the growing commercial relationship between the two countries and encouraged local retailers, distributors, wellness advocates and fitness businesses to explore opportunities with the brand. Founded by Nick Hird and Rob Bennett, Vidrate produces powdered hydration products in sachets that combine flavor, electrolytes, fiber and added vitamins. Its Everyday Hydration range contains zero sugar, natural ingredients and added vitamins C and B12. The company was ranked 28th nationally in “The Sunday Times 100” 2026, which recognizes the United Kingdom’s fastest-growing private companies. Its entry into the Philippines marks a step in its international expansion, with co-founder Hird looking to introduce the brand’s everyday hydration products to consumers in new markets. For CTC Group Philippines, the launch reflects its work in helping international brands establish a presence in the local market. The international business group operates in 12 countries, with a strong focus on life sciences, and supports companies through market expertise, regulatory awareness, strategic partnerships and local execution. CTC Group said it prioritizes responsible commercialization by assessing scientific evidence, substantiating product claims and complying with Philippine Food and Drug Administration requirements and other applicable regulatory standards. The company also considers whether products address relevant consumer and community needs, beyond their commercial potential. As the group continues to work with international companies across its network, its stated focus remains on connecting global innovation with local markets through scientific credibility, regulatory responsibility and strategic brand development.
