10 mind-blowing tech predictions that will reshape everything

“During the next decade (2025-2035), humanity will make a century’s worth of progress (1925-2025),” said Ray Kurzweil.

So when I lay out the top 10 predictions on AI, BCI, Transport, Energy, Bitcoin, Health, and the Economy, emerging from my 2025 Abundance Summit, don’t be too shocked. These are the predications that will reshape industries, redefine economies, and reinvent what’s possible in the next decade.

While others might see chaos in this accelerating technological wave, the Abundance360 community embraces it as the catalyst for billion-dollar breakthroughs.

Here’s what I heard that I’m most excited about!

Cathie Wood’s Predictions: Economic Explosion Ahead

1) Tech advancements will boost GDP growth by 2 – 2.5x (7 – 10%)

Cathie Wood, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of ARK Invest, stunned our audience with her prediction that technological convergence will accelerate global GDP growth from a historical 3% to an unprecedented 7 – 10%—representing a 2 – 2.5x increase.

“We are looking at five innovation platforms that have been evolving simultaneously—AI, robotics, energy storage, blockchain technology, and multiomics. We have never had five innovation platforms evolve at the same time ever,” Cathie explained. She reminded us that the telephone, electricity, and the internal combustion engine together drove 125 years of 3% real GDP growth—and today’s convergence will dwarf that impact.

2) AI will have a deflationary impact alongside emerging tech

Beyond accelerating growth, Cathie predicts AI and other technologies will create a surprising deflationary effect. “All 15 of these technologies today are deflationary in nature, and they are increasing to a high enough base in the economy that they are beginning to move the needle. We believe we’re on the threshold of some very big surprises on the low side of inflation expectations.”

This represents an extraordinary opportunity—the equity market pays for real growth, not inflationary growth. As Cathie put it, “If you actually have deflation, then the quality of the growth that we’re going to enjoy is going to be highly valued by the market.”

Lyn Alden & Anthony Scaramucci on Bitcoin

3) 10 years of continued volatility and growth

During my fireside chat with Anthony Scaramucci (Founder & Managing Partner, SkyBridge Capital) and Lyn Alden (General Partner, Ego Death Capital), they painted a compelling picture of how Bitcoin is redefining global finance. Lyn, who authored Broken Money, explained that while the technology exists today, network effects and institutional adoption will take time. “I still think there’s probably a five-to-ten-plus-year runway before it gets to a lower level of volatility,” Lyn noted, pointing to the critical mass needed for Bitcoin to stabilize as a global monetary asset.

4) Bitcoin (BTC) price estimated at $1M to $1.5M by 2030

Everyone on our Crypto/Bitcoin module delivered consistent predictions: “Bitcoin will reach a price of somewhere between $1 million to $1.5 million by 2030, delivering a 20x increase from today’s levels.” Anthony highlighted a compelling scarcity figure: “According to JPMorgan, there’s 65 million global millionaires now… with an annual float of 3 million to 4 million BTC (out of the total supply of 21 million BTC), if every millionaire wanted to acquire just 0.1 BTC in their portfolio, there wouldn’t be enough, not even close.” Scarcity drives demand which drives price.

Vinod Khosla: Energy & Transportation Revolution

5) The US will replace every coal & natural gas plant with fusion

Vinod Khosla, Founder of Khosla Ventures, shared a bold vision for our energy future. Rather than decommissioning today’s powerplants, he predicts, “We will retrofit every coal and natural gas plant in this country, replacing coal-powered boilers with fusion-powered boilers.”

Vinod pointed to Commonwealth Fusion’s expected demonstration of net energy output by early 2027 and the imminent construction of their first plant. “The environmentalists who say, ‘Well, we need to shut down all the coal plants.’ I think we will repower them with fusion boilers… You don’t need ten years of permitting, ten years of getting a grid connection, power lines, all that stuff. You just retrofit the same locations.”

6) By 2050, most cars will be replaced with driverless public transport

On transportation, Vinod made an even more revolutionary prediction: “I suspect most cars in most cities will be replaced by 2050.” His vision isn’t just for autonomous vehicles, but rather a complete reimagining of urban mobility. “Driverless public transit, that is personal vehicles. You get off your restaurant job at 1 a.m., a car shows up for you. You don’t need to know when on the schedule. Why? Because there’s no driver, so your cost is zero to have a car available… It gets you where you’re going, independent of time of day, traffic lights, it doesn’t stop anywhere, gets you to your destination, and drops you off.”

The impact? “It can 10x the capacity of a street by building more capacity than light rail in a bicycle-lane width… you’ve suddenly created 10 streets wherever you had one.”

Max Hodak: The Brain-Computer Interface Revolution

7) High-bandwidth BCIs by the early 2030s

Max Hodak, CEO of Science Corporation and former Co-Founder and President of Neuralink, shared groundbreaking predictions about brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), revealing his company’s revolutionary approach. Rather than using traditional electrodes (like Neuralink) that damage brain tissue, Max described his Biohybrid Neural Interface design: “We load an electronic device with heavily engineered neural stem cells, embed them in a hydrogel… and then engraft the wet side of this into the brain. The neural stem cells grow neurons and dendrites into the brain tissue, without harm, and naturally connect to the existing structures.”

This approach could enable neural interfaces with 100,000 connections—versus 1,000 with current technologies—and Max expects the first primate implants within months, followed by human applications for stroke patients sooner than previously thought possible.

8) Brain-to-brain connections within 10 years

Even more profound, Max suggested brain-to-brain connections could be possible within a decade: “I see it as a longevity technology… The first use case would probably be things like long-married couples where one person has a terminal disease. For the last year, you can get a brain-to-brain connection.”

This technology could enable unprecedented forms of connection. “Can you turn the death experience into basically a stroke that you recover from? Is there a threshold where you can get phenomenal binding across the interface?” This could lead to human-AI symbiosis or even “super organisms that are composites of big groups.”

Jared Kaplan, PhD: AGI is Almost Here

9) AGI is 2 – 3 years away with a 90%+ chance of uplifting humanity

Jared Kaplan, PhD, Chief Science Officer and Co-Founder of Anthropic, delivered perhaps the most consequential prediction of the Summit: artificial general intelligence (AGI) is just 2 to 3 years away. Jared also acknowledged the emergence of a superintelligence explosion: “My guess is that when we have AI scientists that are as good or better than us at AI research, we have millions of them living in each data center… things are going to happen very quickly.”

Despite these dramatic changes, Jared remains optimistic: “I am an optimist about it. I think 90%, 95% chance it’s good.” He acknowledged risks, but emphasized that with proper alignment and human values, AGI could help solve humanity’s greatest challenges.

Bob Hariri, MD, PhD: Cellular Rejuvenation Revolution

10) 40% increase in healthspan through placental stem cell therapy

Bob Hariri, MD, PhD, Founder, Chair & CEO of Celularity, shared a revolutionary approach to longevity focused on our body’s diminishing stem cell reserves. “From a newborn where one in every 20,000 or 30,000 cells in their bone marrow is a stem cell, if you go to an 80 year old, it’s one in every twenty to thirty million,” he explained.

His groundbreaking research demonstrated that rats receiving their own placental stem cells monthly lived 40% longer than their littermates. Bob’s team is now targeting both “stem cell exhaustion and cellular senescence”—two critical elements on the “wheel of aging”—by combining stem cell augmentation with natural killer cells that “literally destroy and clear” senescent cells.

“We’re moving forward in clinical trials in age-related sarcopenia, age-related frailty, and age-related immunosenescence,” Bob shared, developing what he calls “the scalable solution to problems that plague us,” with the potential to pay significant “dividends in lifespan and healthspan.”

The World of Abundance is Being Built Now

The predictions from 2025’s Abundance Summit show us a world where AI fuels explosive economic growth, financial systems will be reshaped, and clean energy can power the planet at an unprecedented scale.

The world of abundance is being built right now, and the chance to be a leader in the decisions that will lead us there is now.

Until next time,
