You overestimate current AI.

Yes in some very focused applications they are doing well, but overall an ant is capable of much more dynamic behavior under unknown circumstances than today's AI.

Yes, and this may be because the body plays a role as well in cognition. Embodied cognition. Why not many of the "louder" experts, if any, talk about embodied cognition, I don't know. But it is a field that has been seriously considered by many experts for quite some time now.
