For several years, scientists have been perfecting the technology of artificial intelligence to think like a human thinks. Is it possible?
Will it be possible to teach artificial intelligence to think and generate out-of-the-box, innovative solutions to specific problems and human-mandated tasks?
Is it possible to enrich highly advanced artificial intelligence technology into what will be called a digitised, abstract critical thinking process and into something that can be called artificial consciousness?
For several years, scientists have been refining artificial intelligence technology to think the way humans think. The coronavirus pandemic accelerated the digitalisation of remote, online communication, economic and other processes. During this period, online technology companies accelerated their growth and many companies in the sectors of manufacturing, commerce, services, tourism, catering, culture, etc. significantly increased the processes of internetisation of their business, communication with customers, supply logistics and procurement processes. During this period, many companies and enterprises have increased their investments in new ICT technologies and Industry 4.0 in order to streamline their business processes, improve business management processes, etc. The improvement of artificial intelligence technologies also accelerated during this period, including, for example, the development of ChatGPT technology. New applications of machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence technologies in various industries and sectors are developing rapidly. For several years, research and development work on improving artificial intelligence technology has entered a new phase involving, among other things, attempts to teach artificial intelligence to think in a model like that of the human brain. According to this plan, artificial intelligence is supposed to be able to imagine things that it has not previously known or seen, etc.
In the context of this kind of research and development work, it is fundamental to fully understand the processes that take place in the human brain within what we call thinking. A particular characteristic of human thinking processes is the ability to separate conscious thinking, awareness of one's own existence, abstract thinking, the formulation of questions within the framework of critical thinking from the selective, multi-criteria processing of knowledge and information. In addition, research is underway to create autonomous human-like robots, androids equipped not only with artificial intelligence, but also with what can be called artificial consciousness, i.e. a digitally created human-like consciousness. Still not fully resolved is the question of whether a digitally constructed artificial consciousness, which is a kind of supplement to a high generation of artificial intelligence, would really consist of a humanoid cyborg, a human-like android built to resemble a human, being aware of its own existence or merely behaving as if it were thinking, as if it were equipped with its own consciousness. Highly humanoid, autonomous androids are already being built that have 'human faces' equipped with the ability to express 'emotions' through a set of actuators installed in the robot's 'face' that imitate human facial expressions, human grimaces, representing various emotional states. Androids equipped with such humanoid facial expressions combined with the robot's ability to participate in discussions on various current issues and problems could be perceived by the humans discussing them as not only highly intelligent but also as aware of what they are saying and perhaps aware of their existence. But we still don't know that even in such a situation it could be 'just' a simulation of human emotions, human consciousness, human thinking, etc. by a machine equipped with highly advanced artificial intelligence. And when, in addition, an autonomous android equipped with an advanced generation of artificial intelligence is connected through Internet of Things technology, cloud computing to knowledge resources available on the Internet in a real-time formula, and is equipped with the ability to multi-criteria, multi-faceted processing of large sets of current information performed on Big Data Analytics platforms, then almost limitless possibilities for applications of such highly intelligent robots open up.

Short answer is yes. Or better. It won't all be in the teaching, like us it will be how they are built.
Why should one want to? The way humans play chess is completely different from the way programs like AlphaZero play chess. Even the way humans multiply integers isn't the way computers are programmed to multiply integers.
Artificial intelligence (or machine intelligence) is that different from human intelligence-and there's a good reason for it. We design machines to do things differently from the way humans do them, precisely because we want them to do these tasks differently, since humans have limitations that we want the machines not to have.
The answer to that question, Jan Schulz ought to be obvious: No. There can't be any demand for it, because it, just, doesn't make sense, for the reasons mentioned.
