I wouldn't say never, but certainly not this century. Probably not the next one, either.
And at this point we might as well refer to it as something like "Machine Consciousness", because "AI" an any derivatives of it have been rendered garbage for actually talking about the sci-fi concept.
AI was never used to refer to human like intelligence anyway in the AI field. Like any form of computer “intelligence” was called AI. Like chess machines or NPC logic in a game were called AI. It just needs to seem intelligent like the word artificial implies. It’s only now with these LLM peddling companies that suddenly the general public thinks AI refers to reaching human intelligence.
AI has been used to refer to human like intelligence in fiction for at least half a century.
