subject: AI and decompilation?

Thinking back to my first job, nearly 50 years ago now,
when I had to dis-assemble DEC's paper tape BASIC
interpreter in order to enhance it, I guess that
dis-assemblers and decompilers must now be ten-a-penny,
especially for programs running under Windows where
the structure of Windows programs is well-known with
an assumption that C was the source language?

But I wonder if Artificial Intelligence could, after
being fed with numerous instruction sets, take a
block of binary, and analyse its source without
any prior knowledge of the instruction set?

I am particularly interested in the Binary Blob
provided for Raspberry Pi computers, with a view to
getting detailed knowledge of the video processors
employed therein.
