Precisely! We cannot understand what consciousness is until we gain complete understanding of the human brain. Until that, we will have no AGI. Given the sheer complexity of the task, unlikely it will happen in this century.

Don't think we can assume complete understanding of the human brain is a strict dependency.

The first AGI might look and function nothing like a biological brain, perhaps not even inspired from biological brains, or very loosely.

Like airplanes do not look and function like birds.
