I mean, what do you think a hospital is except a maintenance and repair shop for the human body? Sure, we haven't figured out how to flat out replace components of our body without complications, but we've been learning how to do that. Or what do you think organ implantation is? And where that's either impossible, or dangerous, or simply lacking in replacement organs we've been studying how to do mechanical assistance and replacement for literal centuries.

The only thing we won't be able to replace, and an AI might is the major calculation system, the brain, and for creatures of flesh and blood that's because we aren't software based intelligence, we're hardware based. The location of information in our brain is at least as important as the archiving and retrieval systems, whereas a software intelligence would depend on their archiving and retrieval systems and not care as much about where the data has resided in the mean time.
