Eric Fry, Editor of Smart Money, here.
We are standing on the precipice of a shift so monumental that it will reshape industries, redefine economies, and completely transform how we live, work, and think.
While Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already become an integral part of our daily lives, what’s coming next will make today’s AI look like child’s play.
From the intelligent systems embedded in our cars, phones, and search engines to the algorithms that guide what we watch on Netflix or what we buy on Amazon, we are already interacting with AI in ways that would have seemed impossible just a decade ago.
Yet, as impressive as these systems are, they represent only a fraction of AI’s full potential. The AI we know today...
The AI we’ve experienced so far is a world apart from what’s coming next: Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
AGI will go far beyond executing tasks and following commands. It will think, reason, and solve problems independently, reshaping our future in ways we can barely begin to imagine.
Already, AI is the most creative technological force that humanity has ever encountered. For example…
- Cars are full of robust AI systems…
- Your phone is a palm-sized AI computer…
- And Google Search is like a colossal AI brain.
And the companies that have been at the forefront of deploying AI — like Alphabet Inc. (GOOG), Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) — continue to pour cash into it. This year alone, these companies will invest about $200 billion in data centers, hardware, and other technologies required to deploy AI models.
But what most folks don’t know is that this type of AI is known as Artificial Narrow Intelligence, or “weak” AI.
That said, 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.
AGI is beyond anything most of us have ever dreamed of. It's not a faster horse-and-buggy situation, or even a leap from horse-and-buggy to automobile. It's like going from a horse-and-buggy directly to time travel.
To better understand the difference between these two types of AI systems, imagine a pocket calculator. Until you punch numbers into the calculator, it just sits there with a blank screen.
Now, imagine looking at that calculator… but it’s already turned on and operating completely on its own. The calculator has determined what problems it needs to solve and is performing millions of calculations per second.
It’s not waiting for us to tell it what to do anymore. It’s determining the problems and the solutions. This calculator — as fantastical as it sounds — has gained free will (or at least something close to it).
That is AGI.
AGI is when the AIs start coding themselves, when AIs start training each other... and when humans no longer have any idea how or why AIs are doing what they're doing to achieve their goals.
That sounds scary… but AGI is also very exciting because it can identify problems and create solutions we might never even think of.
This is how the world may become virtually unrecognizable in anywhere from two to five years.
According to Elon Musk, an AGI breakthrough could surpass human intelligence by the end of next year.
Those who understand and embrace these changes are setting themselves up to build wealth on a larger scale than ever before. We could be entering into the greatest period of wealth creation that mankind has ever known — all because of AGI.
I’ve spent my career helping people get ahead of these kinds of seismic shifts, and I’m here to tell you: AGI is going to be the biggest one yet.
But the key to success isn’t waiting for these changes to happen... it’s about getting ahead of them.
That’s why I want to personally invite you to stream this important video I’ve put together. In it, I reveal my No. 1 stock idea for the AGI era — an investment I believe is poised to deliver major gains as this technology reshapes entire industries.
In addition, I’ll 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…

Don’t wait until this transformation is front-page news. Get in front of AGI now, and position yourself for what could be the greatest wealth-building opportunity of our lifetimes.
In my next article, I will examine what lessons from the early internet boom we can learn from — and apply — as we now head down the Road to AGI.
I’ll see you back here tomorrow.
