Can artificial intelligence truly replicate the complexity of the human brain?

AI Thread Summary
Artificial intelligence may replicate the complexity of the human brain if we fully understand its workings, as the brain operates through chemical and electrical signals. However, a brain without a body cannot function, indicating that a simulated body is necessary for true AI. Additionally, a body requires an environment to survive, further complicating the replication process. If a simulated human is created, it would possess the same interests and rights as a real human. The discussion highlights the speculative nature of these ideas, emphasizing the need for more scientific exploration.

I don't know much about artificial intelligence and stuff but still a thought - If we are able to know completely about how our brain works we can design a chip that works like our brain right? Brain works through chemical and electrical signals so if are able to discover the functioning of brain we can create artificial intelligence just by copying the brain's structure?

Keep in mind that I am not into computers and stuff - just a layman so sorry if something doesn't make sense

Two points spring to mind:

1) A brain without a body will die. So you'll need to simulate a body to a sufficient level.

1.5) A body without an environment will die. So...

2) A simulated human is a human with all the same interests, needs, flaws and deserved of the same rights.

As there is no real scientific basis for any of this beyond speculation there's really no way to continue without breaking the rules. But if you are interested in reading further here are some links:

Thread 'The Human Cost of AI'

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
