Washington, D.C., Dec. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wall Street Journal bestselling author and technology analyst James Altucher has released an on-camera video presentation examining what he believes is an approaching convergence between artificial intelligence and quantum computing — a development he describes as potentially transformative for technology, markets, and global infrastructure.
In the video, now available for public viewing, Altucher outlines why he believes the coming months could mark a critical inflection point, as two of the most powerful technologies ever developed begin to intersect in practical, real-world applications. The presentation frames this moment not as a distant concept, but as a measurable shift already underway, “as explained in the now available video.”
A Presentation Focused on Convergence, Not Hype
Rather than centering on a single company or product, Altucher’s presentation is structured around a broader historical pattern: that some of the largest economic and technological shifts occur when two breakthrough technologies converge at the same time.
In the video, Altucher states that he believes “the two most transformational technologies of this century will converge,” creating what he calls “the biggest wealth-building opportunity of our lifetimes.”
He supports this thesis by walking viewers through previous examples of convergence — including the internet and mobile computing, artificial intelligence and electric vehicles, and GPS combined with smartphones — explaining how each produced dramatic changes in behavior, infrastructure, and value creation.
Why This Convergence Is Different
A central argument of the presentation is that artificial intelligence, while powerful, is reaching physical and computational limits. Altucher explains that today’s AI systems depend on massive amounts of data and energy, and that conventional computing architectures are increasingly strained by those demands.
According to the presentation, only a fraction of global data is currently being captured and processed, a constraint Altucher ties directly to limitations in classical computing systems.
It is within this context that he introduces quantum computing as the second half of the convergence — describing it as a technology capable of processing information in fundamentally different ways. In the presentation, Altucher notes that Bank of America has referred to quantum computing as “the most radical technology we’ve ever seen.”
Signals That the Shift Is Already Underway
Throughout the video, Altucher emphasizes that the convergence he describes is not theoretical. He points to increasing investment, accelerating research milestones, and growing corporate participation as indicators that quantum computing is moving out of the lab and into practical deployment.
The presentation references statements from major technology leaders, including Nvidia’s CEO, who is quoted as saying that “quantum computing is reaching an inflection point.”
Altucher connects these developments back to artificial intelligence, arguing that quantum systems may dramatically accelerate AI training, optimization, and problem-solving capabilities once the two technologies are combined.
A Historical Pattern Repeating
A significant portion of the presentation is dedicated to Altucher’s historical analysis of prior technology convergences. He revisits past predictions he made around streaming media, social networks, blockchain technology, and artificial intelligence — emphasizing that convergence, not novelty, was the common factor behind each major shift.
In the video, Altucher explains that “when two breakthrough technologies converge, those who get in early get rich,” framing the current moment as another instance of that recurring pattern.
The presentation positions the AI-quantum intersection as potentially larger in scope than previous cycles, citing projections that estimate as much as $111 trillion in economic impact tied to this convergence.
What Viewers Can Expect From the Video
Altucher’s on-camera presentation is designed to guide viewers through:
- Why AI alone may be approaching structural limits
- How quantum computing changes the rules of computation
- Why large technology firms are accelerating investment now
- How historical convergence patterns may apply again
Rather than offering predictions in isolation, the video builds its case step by step, grounding each claim in historical precedent, industry commentary, and observable trends, as detailed throughout the presentation.
