I think he means "something that can discover new areas of mathematics".

Very reasonable, given his background!

That does seem awfully specific though, in the context of talking about "general" intelligence. But I suppose it could rightly be argued that any intelligence capable of "discovering new areas of mathematics" would inherently need to be fairly general.

It's one of a large set of attributes you would expect in something called "AGI."

[metalcrow]

In that case, I'm afraid many people, myself included, would not be describable as "general intelligences"!

How many software engineers with a good math education can do this?

I’d love to take that bet
