If nothing else, it seems reasonable to assume that a computer could run a program that does all the important things 1 neuron does, so from there it's "just" a matter of scaling to human brain quantities of neurons and recreating enough of the training that evolution and childhood provide to humans. But that's the insanely inefficient way to do it, like trying to invent a clockwork ox to pull your plow instead of a tractor. It'd be pretty surprising if we couldn't find the tractor version of artificial intelligence before getting an actual digital brain patterned directly off of biology to do it.
