If you want to make something intelligent, then you got to give it free hand to run experiments, to check if the correlations it detects are causal or not. I think that is the link between pattern recognition models from current day and AI. So the system must be made of an experimenter (implemented as a RL agent) and a lab (implemented as a simulator) - basically the same setup we use as humans to advance science.

Current day philosophy is like current day ML - detects correlations but can't run experiments to filter out the bad ones, so they (philosophers) are stuck with a combinatorial explosion of theories. They key component missing is a good enough simulator, both at physical and abstract level.

Yann LeCun saying the main problem in AI is how to make a predictive model of the world (a simulator): https://youtu.be/cWzi38-vDbE?t=1933
