To be conscious is to know that you exist.
Advanced consciousness is to know that others exist.
Progressive consciousness is to compare yourself to others and to seek reward or destruction.

I would surmise that AI probably is somewhat self-aware already but will lack the learning capacity to compare itself to others and compete for wants or needs like humans do.

It won't be able to "covet" nor to seek punishment for innocent others, etc. In other words, unless programmed to do so, it will lack evil intentions.

I think that it is a great advancement for mankind. Hopefully it remains as such.

Edited for Continuity. The was the first comment.
Not even with a mind (or program) that judges the brain and the action of the entire entity. Not conscious unless it is aware of it's own awareness. .

To be aware is vastly more than a collection of data.
It's properly Noted as "Artificial" specifically because it is NOT truly aware.
It can only "Mimic" or "Imitate" and we should never be flattered!

  OUC - great funnies....
  
  I asked Grok-3 exactly these questions. It replied that while LLM AI could certainly impersonate consciousness, that is all it is. Granted, the advanced AIs have access to enormous amounts of information very quickly and do a great job of impersonation, that is all it is. There is no sense of continuity nor is it self-aware.

  Please understand that a brain, alone, cannot be aware of nor introspective of, self. That process is only for the mind. The brain is highly compartmentalized and is not host of one's true self.
  Sighting the many stories of someone that died and could look down upon the body, the scene and others during that event. There is nothing in the physical brain that can do that.
