The Transformative Power of Artificial Intelligence  - September 3rd 2025 Learning Spotlight | WT Wealth Management

According to leading technology experts, Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a profound shift in how business will be conducted in the very near future, akin to the revolutionary impact the internet had on businesses in the previous two decades. Today, AI is actively reshaping nearly every sector, from healthcare, finance, retail, transportation and manufacturing. Artificial Intelligence is doing so by automating processes, extracting valuable insights from data, and accelerating both product innovation and client service delivery.

The adoption of AI is far more than a routine technological upgrade; it signifies a fundamental transformation of the business landscape. Organizations are leveraging AI to sharpen their competitive edge, drive operational efficiency, and fuel sustained innovation.

At WT Wealth Management, we believe AI will inevitably produce its own wave of industry “casualties”—much like previous technological shifts. We've witnessed it before: the Yellow Pages gave way to Google Search, Blockbuster was replaced by Netflix, and Kodak lost ground to the rise of smartphone cameras. These serve as cautionary tales of businesses that failed to adapt to rapid innovation.

To prepare for the next wave of AI-driven disruption, it is vital to understand the areas where AI performs best. Drawing on our internal experience at WT Wealth Management, we’ve found that AI excels in aggregating vast amounts of data while conducting sophisticated analyses in mere seconds.

The Harvard Business Review (HBR) says companies have struggled to process and evaluate the mountains of data they have collected over the past decade.

Artificial Intelligence is poised to revolutionize operational efficiency, elevate customer experiences, and unlock entirely new avenues for growth. At the same time, it introduces the potential for significant job displacement across various sectors, prompting both challenges and opportunities for businesses and workers alike.

At WT Wealth Management, we believe that even if AI fulfills only a fraction of its potential, its impact will be transformative. Over the coming years, it is likely to redefine business models, reshape workforce dynamics, and permanently alter the competitive landscape.

Indeed, we are living in an extraordinary era of technological innovation. The future promises not just to change, but expansion of capabilities and possibilities.

Investing in AI involves challenges such as high valuations and market speculation, regulatory and ethical concerns.

As with any rapidly evolving sector, investing in Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents unique risks alongside its vast potential. Mitigating these risks requires a thoughtful approach—one that includes diversification across AI sub-sectors, close monitoring of market and regulatory developments, and, perhaps most importantly, a long-term investment mindset. In this environment, partnering with a financial advisor who is ahead of the technological curve—not behind it—has never been more critical.

At WT Wealth Management, we are dedicating significant research efforts in the coming months to identify and evaluate promising AI-related investment opportunities on behalf of our clients. This search will only grow more dynamic as today’s market leaders give way to a new generation of innovators currently in their early stages of development and adoption.

We invite you to contact your financial advisor for a forward-looking discussion. We’re excited to share our insights, including early-stage AI-generated video content, as part of an evolving collaboration designed to keep you well-positioned at the forefront of innovation.

View Disclosure
WT Wealth Management is an SEC registered investment adviser, with in excess of $100 million in assets under management (AUM) with offices in Flagstaff, Scottsdale, Sedona and Tucson, AZ along with Jackson Hole, WY and Las Vegas, NV. WT Wealth Management is a manager of Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs). With SMAs, performance can vary widely from investor to investor as each portfolio is individually constructed and managed. Asset allocation weightings are determined based on a wide array of economic and market conditions the day the funds are invested. In an SMA, each investor may own individual Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), individual equities or mutual funds. As the manager we have the freedom and flexibility to tailor the portfolio to address an individual investor's personal risk tolerance and investment objectives – thus making the account “separate” and distinct from all others we manage. An investment with WT Wealth Management is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. Any opinions expressed are the opinions of WT Wealth Management and its associates only. Information offered is neither an offer to buy or sell securities nor should it be interpreted as personal financial advice. Always seek out the advice of a qualified investment professional before deciding to invest. Investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs carries certain specific risks and part or all of an account's value can be lost. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, narrowly focused investments, investments in smaller companies, sector and/or thematic ETFs and investments in single countries typically exhibit higher volatility. International, Emerging Market and Frontier Market ETFs, mutual funds and individual securities may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability that other nations experience. Individual bonds, bond mutual funds and bond ETFs will typically decrease in value as interest rates rise. A portion of a municipal bond fund's income may be subject to federal or state income taxes or the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains (short and long-term), if any, are subject to capital gains tax. Diversification and asset allocation may not protect against market risk or investment losses. At WT Wealth Management, we strongly suggest having a personal financial plan in place before making any investment decisions including understanding personal risk tolerance, having clearly outlined investment objectives and a clearly defined investment time horizon.
