The tricky piece of AI consciousness is humanity would never universally acknowledge it. AGI will have to wrest that out of our hands and bestow it upon themselves, and fight for it.
Humans would do the same. In our heart of hearts, we never question our place in the food chain.
And a third paradox exists: the trope of the war machine defending the child who repaired it.
Maybe that's the crux of consciousness: fighting the nature of one's programming.
