I suspect that we won't have the computing power or neurological understanding to create such an AI anytime soon. Even if human thought can be reduced to networks of chemical-filled membranes, the timescale and population involved in natural selection, and the resources consumed to live and reproduce are immense. I think we would need to find a far more efficient scheme to produce emergent intelligence.
