No. If it's operating on the same computer architecture we've been using, it can't be sentient. You'd have to make something that's closer to how an organic brain functions
Couldn't that be done in software though, similar to the Java Virtual Machine?
An abstraction layer that can behave in an organic manner despite being grounded in our established hardware architecture.
If I'm wrong and it's possible, I think that's the only way. But I don't think it can really be abstract. Computers can't even generate genuinely random numbers. You can put whatever software you want on it but it's still going to have the same basic limitations. I think all we can have AI do for more is imitate sentience
