Current AI models and research assume that you can recreate consciousness using equations and logical procedures. But they are basically systems of equations and feedback. They work well when they are trained, but only under very strict boundary conditions.
So-called Artificial General Intelligence (the one supposed to imitate a human brain) is probably decades away, if it ever happens. AI works by combining large amounts of data with fast, iterative processing and intelligent algorithms, allowing the software to learn automatically from patterns or features in the data.
AI is one of those complex topics and hoaxes used by the media such as Quantum Computing, Climate Change, etc. to scare people, influence politics, and extract money from the productive economy.
