But I would say no. We may get them to look as if they truly "know" but they will only be working off of what is programmed inside them.

With the logarithmic course in computer memory is taking it won't be long before it overtakes human forms of thought.
We have neural net computers that are learning languages faster and more complete every day ("CYC")
We have robots that are seeing and reacting to movement and even mimicking facial expressions.
However "how do you 'know' what you 'know'?" (epistemology)
Emotions may never come for a computer until humans start putting computers into themselves. Then the playing field is muddied as far as trying to talk about just computers thinking and or feeling. We'll get there much sooner than computers will bypass us anyway so the point is moot. The two will blend completely if unchecked.
