I love this topic. I believe AI will push us to gain a better understanding of consciousness. Your post inspired me to delve a little deeper. Anil Seth said in an article on consciousness in New Scientist, "We don’t passively perceive our worlds – we actively generate them." This to me is a defining characteristic of consciousness so I would say at this juncture AI is not consciousness, but I wouldn't rule it out in the future.
I think anything we can imagine is possible when you combine AI with bioscience and other disciplines. There’s the whole Ray Kurzweil theory of uploading our brains either to the cloud or humanoid robots. Organic matter could also host intelligent consciousness. Scientists have already created brain organoids—miniature, lab-grown clusters of brain cells that mimic some brain functions. Thank you for getting my brain going on a Monday morning!

Yep, I think I agree. The future will definitely be interesting!
