Is human consciousness useful for AI?

When Lee Sedol, champion of Chinese game'Go' was defeated by DeepMind (powered AI AlphaGo), the most common quote on social media was: "You lost and you cried, the computer won but it did not smile" What can be the holy grail of artificial intelligence (AI)? It is not the memory -- today supercomputers can store more information than an average human brain with 100 billion neurons. It is also not computing power, which has long been exceeded by AI machines with petaflops (a unit of computing speed equal to one thousand million million floating-point operations per second). So far, we believed that computers could never learn, they needed to be hard-wired for certain goals. With neural networks and machine learning that citadel is increasingly getting invaded.
