No - we have only a very basic understanding of how the brain works, have no idea what consciousness even is, and know little about human intelligence.
The only thing I can think of is there's a sinister agenda pushing these constant fear-mongering stories about how we're all going to die from AI. Show me a neural net that even comes close to doing anything resembling original, organized thought and I might take these warnings more seriously.
- ljk 9y agostupid question, but the AI/neural net these days require training right? look at what happened to microsoft's AI bot that turned rogue after just a few days and had to be turned off

- jostmey 9y agoWe still don't know everything about the biology of bird feathers but we can make flying machines. True AI is not going to happen tomorrow, but I expect it to come within my lifetime. It's easy to get hung up on the complexity of biological systems like the brain, but sometimes all that complexity is not necessary to the function. Complexity is the result of an evolutionary process, and may not be a necessary component of intelligence
- studentrob 9y agoEvolution has taken us through an uncountable number of neurons and lifespans. In my opinion, even if we had an AI that matched performance of the human brain, it'd still be missing the historical data on earth (and the universe) we used to arrive at this point, the level of parallelization that exists across the earth across all life forms, and the capacity to input as much data as all life on earth can. Data and input capacity are as important as the model in machine learning. I think we sometimes forget how interdependent we are. We learn a lot through sharing our experiences, and when there are more of us, we make more breakthroughs as a species. And, maybe the answer is 42.
- oldandtired 9y agoI started to reply in detail to your comment, but I have decided to stop because there is so much wrong with it. So, I'll leave it with the following, Biological systems are: highly complex self-replicating self-refueling, low-power, low-speed, highly manoeuvrable Our attempts at replication of the abilities lead to brute force high powered, simple non self-replicating, non self-refueling low manoeuvrability needing high speed to achieve same goal And we know very little about biological systems and most of what we know is probably wrong as well.
