There are algorithms that should work, they're just galactic[0] or are otherwise expected to use far too much space and time to be practical.

That wiki article has nothing to do with AI. The whole AI space attracts BS talk

What do you think AI is? On that one page there's simulated annealing with a logarithmic cooling schedule, Hutter search, and Solomonoff induction, all very much applicable to AI. If you want a fully complete galactic algorithm for AI, look up AIXItl.

Edit: actually I'm not sure if AIXItl is technically galactic or just terribly inefficient, but there's been trouble making it faster and more compact.
