I found this interview↗ with Tobias Rees by Nathan Gardels to be way too optimistic from my personal current AI views. Yet it has a lot of good points worth taking a look at.

Some people say AI has “only” pattern recognition. But I think pattern recognition is actually a form of discovering the logical structure of things. Roughly, when you have a student who identifies the logical principles that underlie data and who can answer questions based on these logical principles, wouldn’t you call that understanding? […] So in that sense, AI systems have a nascent sense of truth.
