What does intelligent AI that we can currently build look like?
There's "can build" and "have built". The basic idea is about continuously aggregating data and performing pattern analysis and basically cognitive schema assimilation/accommodation in the same way humans do. It's absolutely doable, at least I think so.
I haven't heard of cognitive schema assimilation. That sounds interesting. It sounds like it might fall prey to challenges we've had with symbolic AI in the past though.
It's a concept from psychology. Instead of just a model of linguistic construction, the model has to actually be a comprehensive, data-forged model of reality as far as human observation goes/we care about. In poorly tuned, low-information scenarios, it would fall mostly into the same traps human do (e.g. falling for propaganda or pseudoscientific theories) but, if finely tuned, should emulate accurate theories and even predictive results with an expansive enough domain.
