Will We One Day 3D Print a Brain?

Andrew Maynard has just released a set of articles from a thesis paper in Nature to an article at Slate which both address the reasons why artificial intelligence is not in our immediate future, but why it may be possible with 3D printing, combined with nanotechnology — as molecular manufacturing and 3D printing with various electronics may take scientists where they need to go in the still relatively uncharted world of artificial intelligence.

What are your thought? Will a 3D printed brain along with artificial intelligence be here sooner than many may think?

I think the biggest obstacle to true AI is always going to be the "why". Science has matured bast the "because we can" point now and cognitive computing is as useful as actual AI could possibly be, without being true AI. The main drive is to push cognitive computing as we currently have it to greater speed, breadth and depth of knowledge rather than to develop it into a true AI.

The realm of generative self coding and self-improving computing processes is always going to belong to good old fashioned natural biological brains.
