I think consciousness is one of those things that is not defined well enough for us to understand it.
Until there is a breakthrough in the understanding of consciousness itself there won't be any real conscious ai.
It's like when we learned to fly, we needn't understand how birds' wings work.
We had to understand the principles of aerodynamics or what is flying itself.
That's why I think imitating the brain won't work, (deep learning etc.) just like the early attempts to fly didn't, even if we'll know the function of every single neuron.
