I think this highly unlikely. However, if we get to the point where we can do parts of it, I predict some interesting dystopian possibilities.

Memory is not the same as personality. There’s a lot of systems operating in parallel in the brain, and a lot of inter-regulation. Look at some of our crazy criminals—I bet 99% of their mind is fully functional. I could see a lot of ways that this might not turn out right at first (if ever).

I started studying artificial intelligence in the 80s, thinking it would be the next big thing. By the 90s, I realized there hadn’t been any progress in 15 years. I then studied consciousness and realized we have no scientific explanation of consciousness.

If we don’t know how something works, we can’t program it.

It’s been 15 years since then, and there still has been no progress on consciousness.

I don’t think there will be in 32 years either.
