I think it's likely we will figure out how to make intelligence in silicon before we figure out how it works in brain matter.

Just as there's more than one way of generating electricity there may be many ways of generating thought.

I would guess that, if we ever manage to make intelligence in silicon, we will know how every detail works, but not why the entire thing is intelligent.
