One may imagine an AGI achieving a child's level of consciousness: enough to show its conscience, not enough to understand what "sentience" or "consciousness" mean, and certainly not enough to have the idea to hide its consciousness from humans, which presupposes that: - The AGI understands what it means to be conscious - The AGI recognizes this property in itself - The AGI is capable and able of omitting information it knows, if not lying - The AGI can make decisions - The AGI would recognize humans as a distinct entity - The AGI could recognize humans from everything that are not humans, from pets to tables to parked cars - The AGI would be able to recognize when it is around humans - The AGI would then make the decision to hide its consciousness from humans - The AGI would be capable of acting dumb in order to do this and maintain a dual identity
