Ex-Google researcher Szegedy: superhuman intelligence is here, math reasoning transfers to everything
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-07
Former DeepMind researcher Christian Szegedy argues that mathematical reasoning will transfer to any domain requiring reasoning and intuition-building over complex problems: even where data is missing, models will fill the gaps with high sample efficiency, just like humans. His claim: "Superhuman intelligence is here," and the same model that solved these math problems will excel at all science and reasoning-bound tasks. AI commentator teortaxesTex quotes and endorses it as "very likely true."
