This is a good framework and categorization for evaluating the effectiveness of AI. TLDR: AI is good at: Perception (how things are) AI is ok at: Judgement (how things are) AI is poor at: Predicting (how things are going to be) E.g., AI is effective to varying degrees at observing and characterizing how things are, but not at predicting how they're going to be. For predicting, AI with hundreds of variables fairs no better than simple linear regression over single digits of variables. Simply because, the future is not reliably predictable, by any means.
