One route that used to be discussed to AI was to base the AI on a
human brain.  I argued that this was a very bad ides because humans
have evolved psychological traits (for war) that would be a disaster
in a powerful AI.

My argument (over ten years ago) might have had influence, in any case
this route to an AI is not much discussed now.

This is something that requires great caution.  Minsky had much to say about it.
