Sounds uncontroversial, to me. I wouldn't expect to be able to create a non-broken AI, even a comparitively trivial one, that thinks 1+1=3. On the other hand, I do think I could create comparitively trivial AIs that leverage their knowledge of arithmetic to accomplish widely varying ends. Simultaneous Location and Mapping, for example, works for a search and rescue bot or a hunt/kill bot.
