Strong artificial intelligence is the title of a program with the aim of producing systems with human cognitive capabilities such as awareness and perception. The problem of this research is that most researchers in this field consider mindfulness and consciousness to be the product of physical processes of the brain. Affected by this point of view, Jeff Hawkins has claimed to discover the algorithm of brain consciousness and intelligence by presenting a physical analysis of the nature of the mind in a hypothesis called the thousand brain. In Hawkins' view, the category of consciousness has a deep connection with the ability to recognize a place. According to him, the systems designed with this algorithm will have awareness like a human. In this article, with an analytical-critical method, the possibility of achieving such systems was investigated, and the findings of the research show that due to problems such as absence of perception, problem of qualia, subjectivity, free will, altruism and Chinese room argument, Hawkins' hypothesis has not been able to solve the mystery of consciousness, and the theory of achieving strong artificial intelligence with the help of a thousand-brain algorithm is not possible. Keywords: Hawkins, Mind, Strong Artificial Intelligence, Physicalism, Qualia, Thousand Brains.
