Washington, D.C., Dec. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wall Street Journal bestselling author and technology analyst James Altucher has released his most recent on-camera video presentation, now available for public viewing, outlining what he believes is the most consequential technological convergence of the modern era. In the presentation, Altucher argues that artificial intelligence is on the verge of intersecting with a second breakthrough technology — a collision he says could redefine markets, industries, and wealth creation on a historic scale.
The video presentation introduces Altucher’s central thesis: that “the two most transformational technologies of this century will converge,” a moment he believes is approaching rapidly and carries implications far beyond incremental innovation. Rather than focusing on abstract theory, the presentation is structured to explain why this convergence follows a repeatable historical pattern — and why the window surrounding it matters now.
Inside the Video: A Pattern That Has Rewritten History Before
Throughout the presentation, Altucher walks viewers through previous moments when technological convergence reshaped entire economies. He points to the convergence of the internet and mobile computing, artificial intelligence and electric vehicles, and GPS with smartphones — each of which produced massive, asymmetric gains for early participants.
According to Altucher, these moments are not anomalies. They are predictable inflection points that emerge when two breakthroughs amplify each other’s capabilities. As he explains in the video, some of the largest market expansions in history occurred “when two revolutionary technologies converged,” creating outcomes that few anticipated at the time.
The presentation positions the current moment as the next iteration of this cycle — but at a scale Altucher believes eclipses anything seen before.
Why This Convergence Is Different in Scale
A central focus of the video is the magnitude of what Altucher believes is unfolding. Citing Bank of America research, the presentation notes that this convergence is projected to “unleash $111 trillion in new wealth,” a figure nearly four times the size of the entire U.S. economy.
Altucher emphasizes that this estimate is not based on speculation, but on the compounding effects of combining artificial intelligence with a technology he describes as even more powerful. The Wall Street Journal, he notes in the presentation, characterized this breakthrough simply as “magic,” while Bank of America labeled it “the most radical technology we’ve ever seen.”
These descriptions form the backbone of Altucher’s argument: that the convergence is not a distant possibility, but a structural shift already moving into place.
Signals That the Shift Is Already Underway
Rather than framing the convergence as a future event, the presentation highlights indicators that momentum is already building. Altucher explains that many of the companies positioned at the center of this convergence are seeing rapid acceleration, with examples of stocks involved in similar past convergences delivering gains of more than 1,000% in short timeframes.
He argues that this pattern reflects what happens when enabling technologies quietly reach maturity before broader awareness catches up. As Altucher notes in the video, “most people miss these types of opportunities because by the time they hear about it from the media, it’s already too late.”
The presentation frames the current period as a narrow phase where awareness lags reality — a dynamic that has defined previous technology cycles.
A Convergence That Divides Winners and Losers
Another theme explored in the video is disruption. Altucher warns that convergences of this magnitude do not lift all participants equally. Historically, they have divided markets into clear winners and losers, rapidly rewarding those aligned with the shift while leaving others behind.
In the presentation, Altucher predicts that this convergence could “divide America into two groups — the convergence winners and the losers,” underscoring the stakes involved.
This framing reinforces the presentation’s central purpose: to help viewers understand the mechanics of the convergence before it becomes fully priced into markets.
Presentation Now Available for Public Viewing
Altucher’s full breakdown — including historical context, supporting research, and his framework for identifying convergence-driven opportunities — is presented in the on-camera video, now available for public viewing. The presentation is designed for audiences interested in technology, innovation, and understanding how major structural shifts develop before they become widely recognized.
