Now of course you don't need to match the _human_ brain to achieve the complexity for an AI, after all pretty much every would agree that "lesser" animals have intelligence, right?
Regardless, 10 years isn't enough last time I checked and even once we hit the processing power barrier we still have the problem of defining intelligence and artificial intelligence, the problem of creating one and the problem of possibly maintaining one if ever created.
