Douglas Hofstadter's Copycat cognitive model will be the basis of sentient AI. That is why the guy who used it to write a solver for Bongard problems took it down, fearing it's infinite power.

Puzzles like that are typical of IQ tests, which frequently failed by human. Then again, these puzzles could be solved using statistics correlation, given that you parse these figures into sufficiently simple format (i.e. number of angles or topology). So the test by no mean prove any intelligence - just good statistics knowledge on the part of the AI's programmer.
