Aeroplanes can be standardised but humans cannot be, take voice recognition for example, you could teach a computer how an average human being would pronounce "aeroplane" but then someone could pronounce the same word in their own way which would be undetectable.. furthermore recent AI design approach include storing a number of predefined scenarios and letting the AI act out on it, introduce a new scenario and the ai render useless. also ive read somewhere that an ai which is light years away from emulating a human brain use up about the same electricity as that of a whole town to power up the computational resources....there are a LOT of obstracles that im doubtful anything remotely emulating the human brain would be possible in the coming 50 years though major advancements are probably possible
Again, I refer you to the two books I recommended earlier. Depending on your level of expertise on the matter or lack thereof you should read Barrat's work on the matter(more readable for a lay audience) or Bostrom's(covering all bases).
