Eight Billion Geniuses: Thriving in a Post-Anthropocentric Intelligence Paradigm

Mark Daley
Chief AI Officer | Western University

Keynote:

The keynote 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.
