Intelligent machines are not predicated on understanding the brain, necessarily.

  This. We didn't reach the moon by studying birds.

  Your statement presupposes that there is an abstract notion of 'intelligence' that can manifest itself in qualitatively different types of systems. That might be true. But, so far, the only kind of 'intelligence' that seems recognizeable to us as such is the product of squishy bunches of biological neurons... maybe squisky bunches of biological neurons are essential to 'intelligence.'

    It is unlikely that our future scientific endeavours respect "What we know so far".
