Well, both. We can’t explain qualia for example, and no AI (at least, no non-super intelligent AI) is going to give us insights there. Perhaps we can create an AI smarter than us that can actually tell us what is going on, even if they can’t experience qualia.

What if the answer caused you to turn off the AI (or yourself) while it was still just setting up the prerequisite ideas?

I think it's already being confronted but behind corporate greed instead of public need.
