I think the problem is humans just aren't smart enough to do the work.

Every other programmer and scientist in the entire fucking world should be working on AI.

Or we can work on techniques to improve our ability. Our collective IQ improved a lot when we dropped roman numerals in favor of arabic/hindi numerals.

In programming we have know of better techniques for a long time[1]. Sadly, as a community we just haven't put understanding as a priority. We follow "Move fast and break things." instead of "Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a factor that decides between success and failure.".
