If I can pull out my college philosophy for a moment, the soul is classically understood to have three parts: the passions, the will, and the intellect. You can subdivide those parts, but that's not important at the moment.
An AI that can factor in logic and emotion to generate consensus can imitate the passions and the reason, but where's the will? AI does what we tell it to do. If we built one that could decide it's goals for itself, we'd be talking something human-like, but I think that's a long way off, if it's achievable at all.
Even programming an AI to be human-like doesn't necessarily solve the problem. We still gave it a directive (act like a human), and it can't will do do something else.
