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.

Generally, the distinction between AI and other algorithms is that AI are capable of learning and self-correction while algorithms that aren't AI are not. It's why Pandora's song selector is considered an AI while the bots in Call of Duty, for example, are not. These kinds of AI aren't really programmed by people; they're programmed haphazardly by other algorithms, which, themselves are programmed by people. What you're thinking of is general AI.
