I've come to believe that the answer will be provided by the "free market". When AIs start to replace humans for tasks that require "intelligence" (how we currently define it for humans), then AI will have achieved "understanding". Sure there will be hype driven companies that replace humans with AI for PR purposes, but eventually those will flatten out. Once I start receiving phone calls from AI telemarketers, have a decent conversation with them and can't tell that I just talked to an AI, then AI will have achieved understanding. And so on for other domains in every day life.
