IT's not that AIs are precognitive it's that they are profilers sort of like Sherlock Holmes because of the amount of data they potentially can look through

 What was it about Sherlock Holmes that made him an excellent Private eye?

His attention to detail. And because of the literally unlimited (potential) amount of information AI can screen you can expect for them to evolve into something either wonderful or horrific (depending upon your point of view) in the present and future. Likely they will be both depending upon who uses this information and in what ways.
