I reckon making AI's is possible.
Think of it logically, humans have a brain which makes them feel things a certain way, so we just need to put extremely advanced sensors and databases and information in a robot that gives it FALSE "feelings" and reactions to things.
That would work until some crazy guy makes Killbots but that would be pretty hard to do and through the development of robots I think they would make sure people can't get their hands on the parts and science, only top US or Japanese or whatever country's researchers.
