Thanks @yashny for your thoughts.
I don't think AI can ever be capable of intuition because it is a human attribute. Even most humans are still in the process of trying to understand what consciousness and intuition are. However, I think in future, AI might be programmed to fake intuition though it can't pass as real intuition since it should come from within.
I harbor the hope that the future developments in AI will trigger an intense interest and the attendant research in consciousness leading us to better understand it. Until such time, we have to continue debating whether AI is capable of attaining human consciousness.
