As a mathematician for over 40 years and a programmer for about 30 years. My take is AI will never be conscious. AI is a marketing term, when people talk about AI they're describing is an algorithm(or a 'neural network' which is a collection of algorithms... NN is also a marketing term which I hate). The simplest example of an algorithm I can think of right now is probably "A, B, path finding" or better yet "The Sieve of Eratosthenes", these are examples of mathematical models that when automated create an unfolding of developmental processes. Developmental process are events that when executed in secession create the illusion of movement(animation), (or thinking because, loading = thinking, right?... no, obviously). The mind isn't a movie, or a happening. Likewise, life is not a problem to be solved, it is a mystery to be lived in the moment. For the computer, life isn't a mystery, all it knows is the rule sets that have been placed in front of it. Computers are always "sure" of the problems that are placed in front of them, they don't ponder, they execute. They are incapable of novel philosophy or ideas. You might say "they are capable of novelty, look at all those algorithms that make music", but of course, those algorithms require human input which really just makes them an extension of our selves. Humans are the ones who breath life into it. Efficiency is the domain of the machines. As you loose awareness you gain efficiency. As you gain efficiency, you become more machine like. The only artificial intelligence I can subscribe to is a bio engineered one.
