AI vs Children who do not understand their textbook

I picked up a book "AI vs 教科書が読めない子どもたち"(AI vs Children who do not understand their textbook) for my next task to summarize in English.
新井紀子 (Noriko Arai, Ph.D), the author of this book, is a Japanese mathematician, and has been engaged in developing and teaching an AI named 東ロボくん(To-robo-kun)to make 'him' pass the entrance exam for the University of Tokyo (the best university in Japan).

Many people believe the advent of the Singularity which means the point of time for the Artificial Intelligence will have exceeded the human intelligence. But the author says it's impossible. "AI is based on mathematics. All that AI can do is things that can be deal with mathematics.", she says. "Although AI is going to replace some of human jobs, human intelligence is more than that." "However, the problem is that there are significant numbers of Japanese students whose reading skills are insufficient to understand even their textbook, which means they cannot get a job that needs more intelligence than AI."
