By the term intelligence, if you refers only the modelling of human behavior [weak AI],it might b possible with the help of a large computational power. But if u want to built the real intelligence [strong AI], the task is going to b tough. In 1980, John Searle introduced a famous thought experiment called Chinese room experiment. He argued that intelligence can never be attained with the blind manipulation of symbols, as suggested by "The physical symbol system hypothesis"[by Newell and Simon, 1976].The thought experiment is explained bellow.
