Well, I assume you have consciousness because I experience consciousness and you behave somewhat like me. But that's just the Turing Test. It seems likely to me that SkyNet can pass the Turing test, so what's left except a religious objection?
I also don't know if the left side of my brain has a different consciousness than the right side, or if my brain absent one cell has a different consciousness than my brain including that cell, or if the two of us together have a different consciousness, or if the human race and the ants together have a consciousness, etc.
How will you know if it has consciousness?
How do I know you have consciousness?
A very good question to which I do not know an answer.
