Do you think an AI can learn this intuition by training it in similar environment?

Good point, why not? Communicating it back to us could be a problem. Hmm.. what if future ais hide data from us in dimensions we can’t wrap our heads around?

		AI already works in an N-dimensional space ... who's to say it's not happening right now?

Can we train our neurons? Like the experiment where human vision adapted to upside down image, could our brains somehow adapt to understanding 4D data from VR headset?

I'm sure some form of training is possible where you get a better understanding of a 4D universe with some limited inference abilities, but with a bad analogy, this would all be "software emulated" with no hardware acceleration - we only have the latter for 3D and we can't update it without a hardware change.

		With future improvements in brain-computer interfaces it might well be possible to send a 4D visual signal into the brain.

Yes, I believe it's possible to train our brains and learn to perceive better in higher dimensions. There's a great description in the science-fiction book Neverness, where pilots meld their minds with the spaceship computer to visualize and navigate hyperspace.
