Well if you say AI then I think of machine learning and neural networks, which can be and may seem 'intelligent'. We already made great steps in this area, but can and will do much more.

However if you talk about Artificial consciousness, like self-awareness and able to exercise free will, then no I don't think this is realistic within the next 10 years. I do think it's possible though.

I believe the key will lay in quantum physics.

~ Just my opinion :)
