Hello, Reader.

Author John C. Maxwell once wrote, “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.” This quote rings especially true when it comes to technology. 

Tech has been evolving for thousands of years. In 3000 B.C., people relied on horse-drawn carriages for travel. Today, we use cars powered by gasoline or electricity for transportation. And now, flying sportscars may be an option for travelers in 2026. 

However, with artificial intelligence, growth isn’t optional. It’s inevitable. 

AI is improving at an exponential rate. And we’re quickly reaching a tipping point where the future will look nothing like the past.  

This point is known as artificial general intelligence (AGI). It is the top level of artificial intelligence.

Some even call it humanity’s final invention.

Artificial general intelligence refers to AI that can mimic human cognitive abilities. Or, to put it simply, AI becoming smarter than the smartest human.

There are already some signs of what AGI will look like. Last month, OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, claimed that its most advanced AI models are now bordering on the second of five levels of “Super AI.” As it stands, many people can no longer tell the difference between AI chatbots and human-generated text responses.  

To discuss the impending transition to AGI and the ways investors can profit from it, I will be holding a special event called The Road to AGI Summit on Thursday, August 22, at 1 p.m. Eastern time. You can click here to reserve your spot now.

During this event, I’ll also share…

• How Wall Street is currently asleep at the wheel on the cusp of AGI’s revolutionary advance…
• An exclusive peek into Big Tech’s secretive frontier AI labs…
• My “futureproof” blueprint for a world of rapidly accelerating AI…

However, I know that when we talk about computer’s becoming as smart as people – or even smarter – it can sound confusing.

That’s why, ahead of The Road to AGI Summit, I recorded a special video to share what AGI is – and what it is not – how it will be used in the coming future, and when we can expect it to arrive. (Hint: It may be far sooner than you think!)

Now, let’s take a look back at what we covered here at Smart Money in the past week…

A Market Washout Can’t Stop Musk From Innovating… or Us From Profiting

The healthcare industry is witnessing a groundbreaking trend: the integration of artificial intelligence – a trend I’ve been closely following. Elon Musk’s Neuralink company is major step in connecting healthcare and AI. It recently successfully implanted one of its N1 chips in the brain of a second paraplegic patient.

Humanoid Robots Are Coming

AI will likely turbocharge the robotics trend. Last week, OpenAI-backed robotics startup Figure AI released a two-minute video of its humanoid robots completing tasks at a BMW plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. These machines are now capable of learning from their mistakes and are designed to move in spaces made for humans. Continue reading here.

A New Form of AI Is Here – and It’s Going to Change the World as We Know It

AI is improving at an exponential rate. And that means we’re quickly reaching a tipping point where the future will look nothing like the past. This point is known as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), or “strong” AI. The “weak” AI we’re using now needs us to prompt the technology into action… but AGI won’t. Read more here.

What the Internet Boom Can Tell Us About the Road to AGI

Just as the internet boom created surprising winners, so too
will the Road to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). To illustrate further,
let’s consider a separate industry where the need for AI is relatively easy to
picture: self-driving vehicles. Click here to continue reading.

Looking Forward

As a reminder, The Road to AGI Summit starts Thursday, August 22, at 1 p.m. Eastern time. This special event will help investors navigate the “Road to AGI” – and all of its implications.

You still have time to reserve your spot now (just click here).  I hope to see you there.
