Consciousness is not a physical byproduct. Your experience of this
physical reality happens within and is a "byproduct" of consciousness
just like Super Mario implemented in FPGA is a "byproduct" of and
happening within FPGA. Rocks, cars, cats and human beings appear within
consciousness - rocks are just less potent and complex than human beings.
A human being is nothing but a very complex rock. Both are just
objects/processes happening within consciousness without requiring
anybody to "do them". There is nobody doing "Jim Bromer". "Jim Bromer"
is just a label for something which isn't you - something that is going
on within consciousness. The fundamental difference between a rock and a
human being isn't so much the complexity but the fact that consciousness
tends to identify with things that are as complex as human beings.
Spiritual enlightenment is nothing but the realization that humans are
just rocks ... but that you spent 30-40-50 years believing that you are
a human being ... that you are the experience you are having within this
particular subset of reality.
A brick and Super Mario are also basically the same thing ... a
sprite/object/etc. in a particular environment. Both exist as
functions/properties of the FPGA substrate ... you just tend to identify
with Super Mario for he offers more methods/complexity, etc. than the
brick ... but ultimately, bricks and Super Mario Land exist in the same
non-fundamental environment which has nothing to do with who you really are.
AI resides within consciousness and you can't make it "more" or "less"
conscious. You can just make it more potent and complex. Also, AGI will
- most likely - not identify with its embodiment just because our
western culture is rooted in said belief system and axioms.

How do you show that there is dormant
consciousness in an AI application without awaking it?
