In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has achieved tremendous development, akin to a significant leap, similar to progressing from 1 to 100. However, a significant gap still exists between current machine intelligence and human wisdom: machine intelligence is constrained to post hoc inference based on existing data, lacking the ability for genuine exploratory innovation and possessing no prospective reasoning inherent to human wisdom. Drawing inspiration from human wisdom, this article presents conjectures for overcoming the four dilemmas faced by machine intelligence: neglect of silicon-based cognition, lack of artistry, pitfall of perfectionism, and obsession with uniformity. These conjectures aim to propel machine intelligence toward machine wisdom, achieving a great leap from 1 to i.
