Consciousness is one of the last frontiers here on Earth.

Given that humans can't even define it adequately, how can we determine if AI has it (yet)?

As an aside, it is understandable that a robot might be more sentient than the average American Wokester.

Animals are sentient; the word means to be able to feel, i.e. use one’s senses. The word that sci-fi folk ignore is “sapient”, or to be able to think.
