The machine cannot understand.
But the computational process running on the machine (which considers some information, then decides based on that information which information to consider next) can.

It is the same (at sufficient abstraction level for comparison) with us.

What are we if not biological machines capable of complex information storage and processing?

You are wrong about this. It turns out that the associatively representing the statistics of syntactic relationships in large corpuses of written human expression is essentially capturing the semantics of the concepts and conceptual relationships of most interest and concern to humans in our collective history of learning and thinking about the world.

Thus the AIs are able to to traverse a model which is essentially a semantic network or knowledge base about the world and its entities, relationships, processes, situations, as perceived and prioritized by humans.

They have what they need to start thinking.
