I think there might be more to consciousness than just simulating the physical components of the brain that we currently understand. There are theories that neurons or clusters of neurons are leveraging quantum superposition in order to function. If that turns out to be true, then a simulation of the physical parts won't be enough for AGI. It would also mean that we actually do need to gain a better understanding of how the brain works in order to achieve AGI. I am skeptical that we can achieve AGI with software alone.
