Through analysis of key benchmarks and milestones - from AlphaGo's victory over Lee Sedol to recent breakthroughs in mathematics, science, and creative domains - the talk explores how AI is increasingly matching or exceeding human-level performance across diverse cognitive tasks. The presentation addresses the emergence of "commoditized intelligence" - a future where advanced AI capabilities are widely accessible - and poses a central question that invites reflection on both the opportunities and challenges ahead: "What would you do with an army of genius assistants?" As AI systems demonstrate unprecedented capabilities in discovering new antibiotics, solving advanced mathematical problems, and generating creative works indistinguishable from human output, we examine what this paradigm shift means for individual and collective human adaptation in a world where genius-level cognitive assistance becomes universally available.
