The article explores the irony in the pursuit of IQ as a measure of intelligence in the context of advancements in artificial intelligence. It highlights that while figures like Donald Trump and tech leaders often equate success with high IQ, the very nature of economic and educational evolution driven by AI may render such measures obsolete. Historically, IQ tests arose amid concerns over population health, seeking to identify potential leaders amid fears of societal decline. As AI becomes central to public education and economic growth, the traditional significance of IQ could fade, signaling a paradigm shift in how intelligence is perceived and valued.
In the drive for US supremacy in artificial intelligence, the value placed on IQ will paradoxically diminish as the economy evolves towards integration of AI in education.
Critics argue that current IQ-centric measures often fail to accurately represent an individual's potential, particularly as society challenges traditional metrics of intelligence.
