    I think the big thing here will have to be an AI that can manage other AI that deal with sets of data.

So, compartmentalization, like in the brain. Have one subsystem deal with X, another - with Y, gives others Z, A, B and C and so on, and you have a somewhat-similar neural structure. My thinking is that those parts would still need to be capable of type conversion of some sort, given that the X module might output, say, strings while Y gives away arrays. Such a capability defeats the purpose of compartmentalization, though: if any subsystem is capable of dealing with anything, there's no reason to separate them but for parallel computation, and that's a whole other story.
