AI might overhaul the drivetrains and/or fuel sources that power these ships, but it will not replace the ships themselves or the need to transport bulk goods across the Seven Seas. Some industries might not be completely future-proof from the onslaught of AI, but they are at least close to it.

What an increasing number of people are asking today is “Are we on a path toward our own ‘mouse utopia’ thanks to Artificial General Intelligence?”

John C. Maxwell once wrote, “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.” This quote rings especially true when it comes to technology, which has been evolving for thousands of years. However, with artificial intelligence, growth isn’t optional. It’s inevitable.

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.

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.

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.

The healthcare industry is witnessing a groundbreaking trend: the integration of artificial intelligence – something I’ve been following and reporting on here at Smart Money. Neuralink’s PRIME experiment, of course, is major step in connecting healthcare and AI.

Unfortunately, the linear thinking that supports popular opinion lacks perspective and repels the kind of forward thinking that can uncover valuable insights. It can also be deadly for your portfolio.

AI stocks have been the hottest trade on Wall Street since ChatGPT’s launch in late 2022. However, over the past few weeks, they’ve suffered through their worst crash since the AI bull market began, leading some to question whether the AI bubble has popped. But we believe the data is showing that it decidedly has not.

If we look a little closer, this week’s selloff indeed seems reminiscent of the 1987 Black Monday crash, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average gave up 22% of previous gains in a single day. Shares of the hottest stocks had simply been bid up too far, too fast. All it took was slightly negative economic news to turn these high-priced moonshots into sinking ships. 

When the market takes a nosedive there are some things you should do, and also some things you absolutely, positively should not do. And we can learn a lot by looking at one of the biggest business stories of the past 100 years: Amazon

Stock market routs like this are miserable events. They sow widespread financial pain and suffering… along with a heaping dose of anxiety. But at the same time, they are the extreme events that create opportunity.

Leading up to the July Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting this week, pressure was mounting on the Fed to cut key interest rates.

With new company developments potentially on the horizon, it’s worth reviewing Musk’s AI Neuralink. Then, I’ll share his upcoming plans for the technology, as well as a way to profit from Neuralink’s success.  

Everyone correctly knows that AI is here to stay and that artificial general intelligence (AGI) is coming. But few know the best way to survive... and even thrive... from this increasingly intelligent technology. 

For nearly two years, AI chip stocks have been the market’s biggest winners because they provide the industry’s ‘picks and shovels.’ But we think that trend has mostly played out.

Though we don’t know what happens after AGI, there are certain steps we can take today to help future-proof ourselves for what’s to come.

AI stocks could very well soar more than you ever thought possible... And we could reach that point as early as next year.

Near-term profitability has never been part of the investment thesis for buying green hydrogen stocks. Instead, they represent a long-term bet on the future of clean energy. And I continue to believe in the success of that long-term bet…
