Baltimore, MD, Dec. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wall Street Journal bestselling author and technology analyst James Altucher has released a video presentation, now available for public viewing, examining what he describes as the convergence of two of the most transformational technologies of the modern era: artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
Delivered as a full on-camera analysis, the presentation outlines Altucher’s view that this convergence could mark one of the most significant technological and economic turning points of the century. Drawing on historical examples, current research, and recent developments across technology and finance, the video was created to help viewers better understand why this moment may be arriving sooner than many expect.

In the presentation, Altucher introduces what he believes is a familiar historical pattern — one in which the largest market shifts occur when two breakthrough technologies intersect. He walks viewers through prior examples, including the convergence of the internet and mobile computing, artificial intelligence and GPUs, and digital networks with new delivery platforms.
According to Altucher, these moments often precede dramatic changes in how industries operate and how wealth is created. As he explains in the presentation, “some of the biggest stock market gains happened when two revolutionary technologies converged.”
The video positions the current moment as the next major iteration of that pattern, centered on artificial intelligence and a second technology that Altucher argues could accelerate AI far beyond its current limitations.
Understanding the Convergence Thesis
A central focus of the presentation is Altucher’s argument that AI, while powerful, is beginning to face structural constraints related to data processing, energy consumption, and computational scale. He explains that this is where quantum computing enters the picture.
In the video, Altucher describes quantum computing as a technology that operates fundamentally differently from classical systems, with the potential to process complex calculations exponentially faster. He references industry commentary and institutional research to illustrate why this capability could dramatically expand what AI systems are able to do.
Altucher points to projections cited in the presentation, including Bank of America’s estimate that this convergence could unleash $111 trillion in new wealth, a figure he revisits throughout the analysis as a way of contextualizing the scale of the opportunity being discussed.
Why This Moment Is Drawing Increased Attention
While quantum computing has been discussed in academic and research circles for decades, Altucher argues in the presentation that conditions are now aligning in a way that suggests a shift from theory to application.
He highlights several developments that signal momentum, including rapid growth in quantum-related patent filings, increased investment by major technology firms, and early real-world testing across industries such as healthcare, logistics, and finance.
As Altucher notes in the presentation, “this is no longer just theoretical,” pointing to concrete progress that he believes indicates the convergence is beginning to materialize.
A Broader Shift in Technology and Markets
Beyond individual companies or products, the presentation frames the AI-quantum convergence as a structural change that could reshape entire sectors. Altucher draws parallels to past technological inflection points that divided markets into early adopters and late participants, often with dramatically different outcomes.
In the video, he explains how these transitions have historically created both winners and losers, emphasizing the importance of understanding the underlying technologies before they reach mainstream awareness.
The presentation also introduces viewers to Altucher’s broader research framework for identifying companies positioned at the center of major technological shifts, a methodology he has applied throughout his career.
