Despite many exaggerated claims, AI is still decades away from explaining or replicating the learning capabilities of a human toddler.
Certainly, over-optimistic predictions about how fast progress in AI would be made turned out to be completely false. But that does not show that AI has failed, as some claim. It merely shows that the people who made the predictions did not understand the problems. And it ignores the many successes in AI, both as science and as engineering.
