Is achieving human-level intelligence (Humint) still relevant for AI?

I have always been drawn to topics related to intelligence in a machine or computer. More so after reading The Emperor's New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds and The Laws of Physics, a 1989 book by the mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose. a British mathematician, mathematical physicist, philosopher of science, and Nobel Laureate in Physics.

IMHO we still have a long way to go to have AI in a machine or computer that is at the level of human-level intelligence. Or perhaps the 'thinking' in a machine is so different than in a human that only certain aspects of the thinking in human intelligence are relevant for AI.
