Once researchers can measure AI performance on a task, they optimize for it. Once they optimize, they achieve human-level performance. And once AI matches humans, automation follows.
This sequence plays out in five predictable stages:
Not every task can be benchmarked. Tasks with objective success criteria—like code generation or translation—are highly benchmarkable and will be automated within months. Tasks requiring subjective judgment—like relationship building or creative strategy—resist measurement and remain human.
