I have pondered over this for a while. When we say human intelligence or "true intelligence" as you say it, the fact is, it is full of irrationality and errors. I believe that computational AI will go farther than we can imagine for the simple reason that we cannot process information the way a computer can; its relentless.
Insisting that computer intelligence resemble human intelligence is probably the characteristic that the future will mock the most, like the way we mock primitive overdecorated Victorian machines.
I too have been pondering this and I think the field is lacking the concept of artificial _imagination_. Maybe intelligence = knowledge + imagination, and since we already have massive artificial knowledge (wikipedia for example), AI is just missing the imagination to comprehend all this data.
I believe complex combination of algorithms can be as intelligent as people other than neural networks.
What do you mean by "computational AI" and why doesn't it include neural networks?
Computational AI in that one tries to compute a top-down model of the mind.
Hmm, okay. I don't know why you wouldn't consider bottom up models to be computational (and it doesn't seem to be a standard term; Google's second result is this comment thread), but at least I see what you meant now.
Even better would be a hardware _and_ software approach, not a brute forcing approach.
