You need to understand math and physics to see why this is true. Not when we are so close to theory of everything or something up there like that. There can be no comparison and NdG Tyson is idiotically using such comparisons often to influence people the wrong way.
You act as if technological change and scientific knowledge are slowing down as we approach some theoretical collective state of knowing "everything".
Empirical observation suggests that exactly the opposite is true.
As for whether an AI's thinking could be so sophisticated as to defy collective human understanding, I don't know, but I see no reason to assume it is impossible.
And in any case, if the AI's thinking were so complex that it would collectively takes humans two years to digest what the AI could absorb in two minutes, then the AI's thinking might as well be inscrutable to humans, because so much of the what AI understands at any given time will not have been absorbed by humans.
