* I believe we will (1) find some basic data structures and algorithms to do real AI.*

There's no new kind of data structure to discover, humanity has made a disjonction of all possibles. The choice of data structure for semantic parsing is trivial, it's an hypergraph. The debate isn't the datastructure but how to fill it correctly while keeping the same Expressivity as in the original input (natural language). There's no reason to think we will make progress on this task beyond wishful thinking. Only a handful of humans are working on semantic parsing, which is the real AI task.

Just saw your question just after writing

Warning: No doubt what I wrote there is not good enough for NSF or DARPA funding!
