Consciousness has nothing to do with cognition. Also, if you look at any complex natural system long enough, you will see an expression of learning. In that way humans and AI both are not particularly unique except in the cases of their input formats and the capacity of their internal representations. There is no step change from non-learning to learning system, it's all a matter of their "computing" power so to speak.
