Ask HN: Non-brain inspired route to Artificial Intelligence?

Most likely it's naiveness speaking, but is there a route to Artificial Intelligence that doesn't involve modelling some aspects t of the human brain but some weird exotic mathematical structure (ANNs don't count) that produces equivalent representation of the functions most likely approximated by NN to attempt tasks?

AI in Westworld TV series is based on Bicameralism, which is a philosophical concept rather than mathematical. And from philosophical point of view there's no need to recreate human mind neuron-by-neuron. If a copy can't be told from the original then the implementation details do not matter.
