  before the world can build artificial intelligence, it must
  explain human intelligence so it can create machines that
  genuinely work like the brain

Why must intelligent machines work like the human brain? It’s just an accidental result of evolution and doesn’t define what ‘intelligence’ is?

We have no definition of intelligence that doesn't refer to human behaviour.

In part this is a curse on ML/AI, since so many of the terms that are used to define the subject and goals of the field are pre-scientific, even religious in origin - consciousness and will are two other examples.
