For general intelligence some components and sub-components of consciousness need to be there and some don't. And some could be replaced with a human operator as in an augmentation-like system. Also some components could be designed drastically different from their human consciousness counterparts in order to achieve more desirous effects in one area or another. ALSO there may be consciousness components integrated into AGI that humans don't have or that are almost non-detectable in humans. And I think that the different consciousness components and sub-components could be more dynamically resource allocated in the AGI software than in the human mind.
