I'm not sure that it will settle anything. Even if you built a brain that functioned identically to a human brain, one can never prove that the brain is experiencing/creating consciousness. It could always be argued that the brain is just mimicking function but lacks subjective awareness. Since we have no way of measuring consciousness even in a human brain, how will be prove that a man-made brain is conscious.
