One big gap is causal learning. A true general intelligence will have to learn how to intervene in the real world to cause wanted outcomes in novel scenarios. Most current ML models capture only stastical knowledge. They can tell you what interventions have been associated with wanted outcomes in the past. In some situations, replaying these associations seems like genuine causal knowledge, but in novel scenarios this falls short. Even in current day models designed to make causal inferences, say for autonomous driving, the causal structure is more likely to have been built into the models by humans, rather than inferred from observations.
