Is the World Economy Facing an Extinction-Level Event?

By Charles Sizemore, Chief Investment Strategist, The Freeport Society

Machines able to think for themselves…

Learning independently…

Even teaching other machines…

And all without any human supervision or input!

I’ve seen this movie and everyone knows the infamous line: “I’ll be back!”

Except this isn’t a movie. And the machines (hopefully) have no plans to exterminate humanity.

We really are on the cusp of a future in which AI has the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge and reasoning across a wide range of tasks, just like a human being.

This is true artificial intelligence, which the tech crowd calls Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). And if you ask Elon Musk or Sam Altman, president of the company that launched ChatGPT, it could arrive as soon as this year.

Current AI tech is already a major productivity booster. I use it daily. So does my team. But its scope is still really limited.

I can ask a bot to execute specific tasks for me: write a letter, summarize a lengthy white paper, transcribe the audio from a video clip… But it’s not going to do anything on its own.

AGI can potentially take the initiative, like an ambitious employee, looking for new projects to do without my having to boss it around.

Sneak Peek: New tech to surpass AI?
Take a look at this video… Inside, is an on-camera demonstration of one of the most amazing technologies you’ll ever see. It’s gotten overlooked with all of the hype around AI. But I believe this breakthrough will produce the #1 Tech Stock of 2025.

Bringing this to life requires significant capital injections by all involved. Evolving it once it’s “alive” will as well. And every step of the way, there is opportunity for investors.

To help me unpack all of this, I sat down with Futurist and InvestorPlace Senior Analyst, Eric Fry.

Eric was an early investor in AI, long before it was all the rage on CNBC.

That’s because he’s always on the lookout for big-picture trends that drive huge, multiyear moves in entire sectors of the market. When he finds them, he extracts and exploits the moneymaking opportunities a regular Wall Streeter would miss.

The insights he shares in today’s video are both exhilarating from an investment point of view… but also terrifying from a business perspective.

During the video, Eric and I discuss his presentation that expands on AGI and how to invest in it. You can view that here.
