Why don't biologists use biology to create super intelligence instead of CS engineers making computer AI?

Many people mistake Artificial Intelligence to some self-thinking program but it's just a bunch of "if" and "else" code statements written by a programmer in a certain language like python or c.
True AI would have self-awareness, reasoning, self-thinking and that's a thing a person from medical and biological background could create not computer engineers and programmers.
Programmers only create set of instructions for a machine.

You must not be aware of current ai. It's much more than if-else statements. ai learning to play video games on its own, and beating human players.

An AI beating a human is not a new thing, computer has always been ahead of humans in mathematics.
It all comes down to mathematics, and a mathematical machine created by engineers cannot have "Curiosity", "Risk-taking factor" and "Consciousness" I just mean to say the whole artificial intelligence project is in wrong hands.
It Should be primarily a biological project, the scientists of human body, mind and brain.

@Authoritarian The point is that it learned how to play on its own, and excelled.
