We can't create artificial intelligence because we have absolutely no idea what intelligence and consciousness really are. You can't recreate what you don't understand and we are not even close to understanding what makes us, us. An analogy I've thought of is this. A modern jetliner is a miracle of engineering, aerodynamics, electronics, and programming. If the average person on the street, such as myself, was tasked with attempting to recreate one the best that would be achieved would be an extremely crude model that could not even achieve the most basic task of an aircraft: taking off and flying. Thus it is with researchers trying to recreate human intelligence.
