They are training AI agents on simulators, which are dynamic datasets as opposed to ImageNet which is a "frozen" dataset).

Google and the whole AI community have been hard on the Reinforcement Learning bangdown. RL is based on situating an agent in the environment (real world or sim) where it learns to interact and achieve goals. That's situated AI.

My intuition is that simulators are key to the next AI phase - where a neural net would be like a scientist creating new hypothesis and experiments, and the simulator would be like a lab, testing out those ideas (simulation + MC search + neural nets)

I hope so. Reinforcement learning and apprenticeship learning (inverse RL where the machine watches a human dealing with the problem) are probably the ground zero before which everything will look like toys and Kaggle problems.
