Mathematician Ken Ono recounts the year that upended his identity: hired to invent problems hard enough to stump ChatGPT for the FrontierMath project, he discovered that large language models now know more facts than any human alive. Rather than despairing about how to 'stay ahead of AI,' Ono argues that is the wrong question entirely. He reframes intelligence as the human capacity to ask new questions, create concepts, and connect ideas across fields, weaving in the story of self-taught genius Srinivasa Ramanujan, his own near-dropout youth, and a plea to rescue the wonder that machines can never replicate.

A former high-yield bond trader turned engineer, he spent the past decade building budgeting, banking, saving, investing and human-plus-software financial advice into one app - and in 2026 shipped Genius, an AI assistant that doesn't just advise but takes action on your money.
