*AI researchers have been trying to give AI a working model of the real world for decades. * There is advancement in this area too. It is slower than NPL for example, because handling the real world is more complex. But at least there is a lot of progress in creating AI that can learn from artificial worlds with simple physics. Some recent papers showed a simulation of anatomically correct puppets learning how to stand, walk and finally play soccer in a world that was basically a soccer field with real Newtonian physics. The AI learned all this completely by itself. Eventually the soccer players even showed tricks that are possible for a human but humans usually don't do, basically demonstrating some form of physical world handling creativity. Again, AI is making incredible progress recently.
