The article mentions language processing, interpreting audio and visual material, and playing games as goals that have been set for AI, and then suggests as an alternative goals that "can expand with our own abilities and desires."
But there is little mention of creativity, empathy or emotion - aren't these the types of dynamic, responsive cognitive abilities that are uniquely human? Certainly there's an ethical dimension to the question of whether we should strive to recreate these in AI, but they seem like the type of goals that depend on complex and dynamic intelligence, that would be the most difficult types of tests for computers to pass.

I wouldn't say "uniquely human", other animals show signs of all of those. Still, they're not really represented in machines. I don't believe that machines are incapable of it, or that people are trying to avoid implementing it; more that the basics still need improving before we need to worry about it. On the other hand, it's possible that people are working on AI from the wrong angle, and creativity, empathy, and emotion are needed at a much lower level and would make imparting knowledge to machines easier.
