Everyone?

Everyone in the democratic western countries maybe, but they are in the 
minority (a shrinking minority, it seems at the moment).

I can't see any of the tyrannical states in the rest of the world being 
willing to let their subjects have access to the kind of power that this 
magic genie could grant, and we're probably talking about 75% of the 
world's population.

We all think about things like longevity, curing cancer and 
technological development, but perhaps a more significant thing a 
superhuman AI genie could work on would be a cure for despotism.

An age of abundance is pretty lame if it only applies to a quarter of 
the human race.
