It makes sense to have an embodied AI, i.e. a robot. Self driving cars count.

But it doesn't have to be modeled after humans. The purpose of humans if we can call it that is to make more of itself, like all forms of life. That's not what we build robots for. We don't even give robots the physical abilities to do that. Giving them a human mind (assuming we could) would not be adequate. Wrong body, wrong purpose.
