In the June 2026 issue of the Mensa Bulletin, Robin Green explores what artificial intelligence reveals about human intelligence, creativity, and conscience. Drawing on research from MIT, Harvard, the World Economic Forum, and others, the article examines the paradox at the heart of the AI moment: as machines absorb routine cognitive work, distinctly human capacities become more valuable, not less.
The article covers the creativity research most AI coverage gets wrong, the governance gap nobody wants to talk about, and the framework that may matter most as these decisions get made.
The Intelligence Test: What Artificial Intelligence Reveals About Us is adapted from Robin Green’s book The Intelligence Loop: A New Model for Growth and How We Get Smarter Together, available June 23, 2026.
