Our intelligence is also based off predictive models. Your brain is constantly making models of the world. It's got so many feedback loops reinforcing those models and hundreds of times a day it will ignore data contrary to those models.
And let's be clear here. The AI that we are building towards is really AGI. AGI is just human level AI. We're not there yet.
But there's another capacity above that, and it's ASI. Super Intelligence. It will be so far beyond us that we probably can only guess at framing what it is and what it does.
Here's a great article about the "upcoming" AI revolution, written in 2015!
