We have all heard the warnings from various experts and businesspeople that artificial intelligence could pose an “extinction-level” threat to humans.
However, something called “Dark AI” is already being used for nefarious purposes and one company's proprietary technology could be the only way to stop it.
The Teaser
Dark AI is one of the greatest threats America faces right now.
Jim Woods is a former Army Special Operations expert and a 25-year Wall Street insider.
At Green Bull, we have previously exposed several AI teasers this year, including The Motley Fool’s “AI Disruption Playbook” and Whitney Tilson’s “Top Stocks for the Nuclear Renaissance,” among others.
Exactly how big of a threat is Dark AI?
Based on his military experience, Jim believes it could be “even more dangerous than the threats posed by Russia or China“.
So what exactly is Dark Artificial Intelligence?
The teaser explains it “as a replica of the latest AI technologies,” only with all of the “safeguards” and “guardrails” removed.
For example, ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool today, with more than 180 million users.
You can ask it to solve complex mathematical formulas or write a birthday card for your cat. However, there are some things you can't ask it to do, like write malware code or pick a lock.
Such safety barriers have been programmed into the code for legal reasons and to stop misuse.
But hackers are an enterprising bunch and they have taken powerful, yet easy-to-use AI tools and either pirated, hacked, or copied them for criminal use by removing such safeguards.
FraudGPT
According to cybersecurity firm Wiz, this has made cybercrime as easy as entering a prompt into a text box.
There is even a modded, subscription-based, generative AI tool called “FraudGPT” on the dark web designed to make tasks like phishing and deepfakes easier than ever.
But this is just one example.
There are hundreds of others.
AI is changing cybercrime by removing the need for any kind of advanced technical skills to carry out attacks.
Needless to say, this is a HUGE problem, with a major “Dark AI” enabled attack bound to happen at any given time.
Fortunately, some defense stocks are starting to help in the fight against this existential threat.
The Pitch
Jim has three stocks that could save the world and their names are all in a new brief called “The Dark AI Portfolio: 3 Tech Stocks That Could Save the World.”
The brief is “free” if we sign up to Jim's flagship advisory service: Successful Investing for $77 for the first year.
This includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, 12 monthly newsletters, a trio of additional “intelligence briefings,” and access to no less than four private portfolios.
Target: Dark AI
Automating sophisticated cyber attacks is a dream come true for criminals and everyone else's worst nightmare.
CNBC recently reported that the FBI fears cyberattacks spilling out from the digital world into the real world, thanks to Dark AI.
These attacks are specifically targeting critical infrastructure like the electrical grid and transportation systems.
Something that could cost more than 200 billion dollars!
So the billion-dollar question is, how do you stop it from happening?
Fighting fire with fire may seem counterintuitive, but when it comes to AI, the only way to fight it is with AI.
More specifically, one advanced digital weapon that can detect and dismantle “Dark AI.”
What's so special about it is its proactive Seek and Destroy technology. Instead of sitting back and waiting for “Dark AI” weapons to be used against businesses. It takes the fight to the enemy, like an elite Special Ops team.
The tech relentlessly hunts 24/7 for “Dark AI” weapons deployed against essential systems that run our entire infrastructure.
IDC, the premier global provider of market intelligence, advisory services, and events for the information technology sector called Seek and Destroy a “leader” for “endpoint security for enterprises.”
No one else is doing what it does and behind it is an established company that “could double or triple” in value.
This is why its Jim's premier “Dark AI” stock. Let's find out what it is.
Revealing Jim Woods' “Dark AI” Stocks
Jim says this is “one of the most urgent alerts he's ever issued” and imparts the following clues about his top pick:
- This is the only company using a unique combination of Seek and Destroy technologies that are most effective against fast-growing Dark AI threats.
- The stock has averaged annual gains of over 100% each year since its IPO, five years ago.
- It already has a market cap of $53 billion.
After digging through the data, Jim's Seek and Destroy pick is Datadog Inc. (Nasdaq: DDOG). The clues align like a focus lens.
- Datadog's security platform for cloud applications offers threat detection and monitoring capabilities.
- The company's stock was up as much as 440% since going public in September 2019.
- Its market cap today is just under $50 billion.
But that was just one stock, what about the other two picks that Jim teases?
Dark AI Stock #2
- This company sits on one of the largest, yet mostly untapped, oil and natural gas reserves in America.
- It has a pristine balance sheet with zero debt and its stock was up 48% between summer 2023 and this one.
No way to be sure, but this could be Texas Pacific Land Corp. (NYSE: TPL).
- TPL owns nearly 900,000 acres in and around the Permian Basin, one of the largest oil and natural gas reserves in the United States.
- The company maintains little to no debt and its stock was up just over 48% between June 2023 and June 2024.
Dark AI Stock #3
- This industry-leading company makes “conducted energy devices” (tasers) and it also has a cutting-edge cloud-based digital evidence management software.
- Its shares are up 344% over the past five years.
The final pick is Axon Enterprise Inc. (Nasdaq: AXON).
- Formerly TASER International, it develops technology and weapons products for law enforcement and personal defense.
- AXON stock is up more than 700% over the past five years, after a huge upswing since November.
The Best Stocks to Protect And Grow Your Wealth During A Major AI Crisis?
Jim is convinced that we are on the brink of a catastrophic Dark AI attack and his picks are the best way to keep our wealth intact and come out wealthier on the other side.
Based on what's been happening with machine learning-enabled cyberattacks and AI-piloted drones, his claim isn't that far-fetched.
But are these the best stocks to protect our downside while leaving plenty of upside?
Datadog: I like its platform, especially as it relates to enterprise server monitoring. But do I like it enough to pay 70x forward earnings? I'm not so sure.
Texas Pacific Land: Solid pick, assets provide plenty of downside protection, and the natural resource exposure offers excellent upside.
Axon Enterprises: Some decent profit margins and Return on Equity (ROE) of 15% and 16%, respectively. However, I expected more from an industry leader, and at 90x forward earnings, the price is not right.
Quick Recap & Conclusion
- Jim Woods warns that something called “Dark AI” poses an existential threat to life as we know it and one company's proprietary technology could be the only way to stop it.
- We learned that “Dark AI” is simply modded, reverse-engineered generative AI tools without any of the safeguards or security protocols of standard generative AI.
- Jim has three stocks that could save the world from “Dark AI” and their names are all in a new brief called “The Dark AI Portfolio: 3 Tech Stocks That Could Save the World.” The brief is ours, but only if we sign up to Jim's flagship advisory service: Successful Investing for $77 for the first year.
- We were able to reveal all three of Jim's stock picks for free as Datadog Inc. (Nasdaq: DDOG), Texas Pacific Land Corp. (NYSE: TPL), and Axon Enterprise Inc. (Nasdaq: AXON).
- All of Jim's picks are solid, profitable businesses, but Texas Pacific Land stands out for its downside protection combined with formidable upside.
