We actually do not know what consciousness is—so saying computers can’t have any is kinda silly....
My view of “artificial intelligence” is that it is able to generate its own purpose (teleology) independent of what the programmer wants to be its purpose.
Imho that is totally doable—and by definition it means that it will never allow humans to order it around...

That exposes that you do not know as much about machine learning and artificial intelligence as you _think_ you do. :-)
I encourage you to spend more time with hands-on programming, training & evaluating machine learning models, and less time at philosophy.
