As far as I have seen, common sense with reasoning and emotional intelligence and creativity are some of them.  Humans, instinctively understand social cues, cause and effect  and so, AI should also get into logical inferences and rather than just pattern recognition. Emotional intelligence we all know what it is,  but true creativity is something that goes beyond recombining existing ideas isn't it. Social empathy is subtle and nuanced which humans excel. I don't know about AI. 

For AI to truly surpass human intelligence, several breakthroughs are needed-both in technology and our understanding of intelligence itself. Here are the key areas:

1. General Intelligence (AGI)

Current AI excels at specific tasks (like playing chess or analyzing data), but it lacks the ability to think flexibly across different domains like humans do. We need AI that can reason, plan, and adapt without being explicitly trained for each new task.

2. Common Sense & Intuition

Humans use intuition and common sense to make decisions in uncertain situations. AI struggles with this because it lacks a deep, experience-based understanding of the world. We need breakthroughs in symbolic reasoning, real-world learning, and causal inference for AI to truly "think" like us.

3. Self-Learning & Adaptability

AI today relies on massive amounts of data, but humans learn from a few examples and can apply knowledge creatively. Advances in unsupervised learning, meta-learning, and continuous learning would allow AI to develop autonomous intelligence without needing constant retraining.

4. Human-Like Creativity & Emotion

AI can generate art and music, but it lacks true creativity, emotional depth, and subjective experience. Understanding human emotions, motivations, and consciousness is a huge challenge. AI would need neuroscience-inspired models to replicate these uniquely human traits.

5. Efficient Energy & Hardware

The human brain runs on about 20 watts of power, while training AI models like GPT-4 requires energy-intensive supercomputers. Developing more efficient AI chips, neuromorphic computing, and quantum AI could bring AI closer to human-like processing.

6. Ethics & Safety

Superintelligent AI would need alignment with human values to avoid unintended consequences. Ensuring AI acts ethically, transparently, and safely is crucial before it surpasses human intelligence.

Until we solve these challenges, AI will remain a powerful tool-but not a true replacement for human intelligence.
