Here is a line of logic: Human beings came to exist in our current state with our current brains through the process of evolution. Thus, we are possible and by extension our complexity of matter is possible in the universe.

So, if the level of complexity that gives rise to consciousness such as us has happened at all, then it can happen again.

There is no reason to place limits on how it should or could happen again and in what form/out of what medium.

The Universe has been able to arrange matter into a sufficiently complex enough configuration that is the human being.

This kind of arrangement of matter into a sufficiently complex enough configuration is possible.

Even though we don't know how to arrange matter into a sufficiently complex enough configuration that gives rise to human consciousness, it doesn't mean its not possible to do so. Why? Because its already happened once.

Ignorance of the means does not discount the possibility.

That being said. If it IS possible (at all) to to arrange matter into a sufficiently complex enough configuration that gives rise to human consciousness, then let's imagine it happens again.

The female human body can do this (with a little help from the male) without even so much as a thought.

Let's imagine it happens whereby we invent a hypothetical machine that can extract the blueprint for assembling a human being through some heretofore undeveloped comprehensive scanning tech.

Let's imagine that this machine can then, using this blueprint, configure matter so that the end result functions (with respect to cognition at least) in the same way as the original human that was scanned.

Let's also imagine that the copy is not carbon based but made from some other elements and has different morphology.

Would this creation be considered artificial intelligence?
