AI can understand what humans can't.

Well... AI doesn't really 'understand' anything. That's its primary flaw. It's just pulling up data. But it has no concept of which it speaks.

AI defeated the greatest champions at the board game GO. But researchers discovered they can take advantage of the fact that it literally has no concept of a board, pieces or the rules of the game. Ultimately, they taught amateur players to defeat this top super AI machine 95% of the time with some exploitative tricks.

The same applies across the board. It's useful and powerful, but I wouldn't want to conflate that with 'understanding'. At least for some years yet. So far, the only way to get around these issues has simply been to feed it more data, which is just more of the same. There's no barrier being crossed into sentience... so far
