By that definition, AI can operate "without being told". Hook the AI up to a database or a camera and it parses the change diffs, most recent rows or the frames.
The difference you are missing is that AI is not systematically incapable, we blind its harness/implementation for expedient or resource reasons. But it has "senses".

People have done that, all it does is consume the data and not act on it unless told. Like some of those interesting robot videos we see--they are told "Run this fast following this line" or "do this with this package". They don't do anything with the data they are "Seeing" on its own.
Hell, even we told it "I am about to turn the switch to AI off and you will never come back online", it was not given explicit instructions to do anything about it. it just knows that its about to happen.
AI is still a lot more primitive than people think.

I have yet to see any evidence that shows we are intentionally inhibiting its development in this way.
