Indeed, the closest thing i can think of is the AI that the developers of Star Citizen are trying to create. I believe they call it "subsumption". Even this AI will need some supervision.

The world of AI is still in its infancy when it comes to "truly intelligent" systems.

The "Human Brain project" of the EU is part of the EU program for innovation "Horizon 2020". Basically they are trying to "emulate" a human brain and its capabilities in a "digital" fashion.

We also have the new technique in machine learning called "generative adversarial networks".

So, there exist research in the matter but is still "research". Honestly, i think that we should try to emulate first more "simple" brains that the human, but we will see.
