The author poses a research question: When AI capabilities exceed the range of human verification and questioning, how do we measure "intelligence"?

The post mentions that in 1904, Spearman introduced general intelligence g via psychometrics to measure human intelligence. The current problem is: when humans don't even know what to ask or can't verify the answers, does the traditional evaluation framework still hold? The original post links to a latest paper discussing intelligence measurement methods in the era of superhuman capabilities.
