Perhaps this is the point. If you don't have an agreed upon definition of the word, it is not a useful tool. A claim o consciousness, if that claim is meaningless, isn't useful.
But aside from that, there is a lot of philosophy on what consciousness is (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness has some of it). And those people, especially philosophers in the crossover of computer systems/intelligence and general philosophy are "experts".

You know it when you see it. And a computer is not conscious in anyway you would recognise. And that’s why science communication matters. Having some super excited researcher talking publicly without an editor or someone to ground them just gives wrong ideas. Imagine the number of enthusiasts who did not read any rebuttals and now think AI are becoming conscious.
