A good question that should be asked is why are we focused on trying to recreate being human in a machine? There's already billions of human beings. Machines are our tools. I think Augmented Intelligence was always the better term, but the scifi stories and overhype stole the show a long time ago.
Do we really want and need a Data or HAL? They're great for story telling, but is that what humanity really needs from it's tools? I don't need to fall in love with Siri like in the movie Her. I just need it to be useful when I want to ask my device oral questions.
