The answer to that question is 42.

Why do you assume AGI is smarter than some human?

Why would humans be peak intelligence? There is even variation for intelligence within the species. We are probably just stuck on some local maxima that satisfies all the constraints of our environment. Current AI is already much smarter than many humans at many things.

I'm not saying humans are peak intelligence.
