Actually viewing the human mind as a computer has come under some heavy criticism as of late. One of the criticisms is whats known as "The frame problem."
Basically what frame problem is, is that when working with computers and A.I. these systems have data stored in a kind of framework. Think about when you access some material on your computer, it possible you will go through a number of folders and sub folders to get to a particular item you want. When searching for something a computer does something similar, like when you tell it to search for something it will list the number of files gone through.
The problem is, is that humans do not use this process of going through "folders" and data storages in their brain, rather somethings humans do in regards to memories and other activities is vastly faster than any computer, and because computers work within a framework it is right now not possible for A.I. to mimic this process since we dealing with entirely different structures and methods of "data retrieval."
If you want to know some articles or information I can post it later.
