Measuring Intelligence Beyond Human Scale

This reply mentions a new paper focusing on a core question: How do we measure intelligence once it surpasses the range that humans can directly understand and verify?
The text briefly mentions Spearman's 1904 research on "g" (general intelligence), noting that he essentially pioneered the later tradition of factor analysis. Using this historical context, the new paper discusses how intelligence assessment should be defined in an era where "humans no longer know what to ask and cannot verify the answers."
