Given that consciousness is not super well defined, being conscious is a philosophical issue that depends on belief.
For example, if you believe that consciousness is a fundamental property of everything in the universe, then anything and everything is conscious (ie. panpsychism). So under this belief, AI is technically already conscious, just in a different way than humans.
In some eastern religions/practices, there are methods to experience the consciousness of other things (e.g. another animal, an insect or a tree), I wonder if the people that can do that would be able to experience the consciousness of AI.
