Consciousness not a legitimate psychological topic
Consciousness is unnecessary for understanding human psychology and therefore is not a reasonable demand to place on an artificial intelligence system.
The concept of consciousness fails to denote an actual psychological structure. It's used in an assortment of circumstances but doesn't occupy a place in a legitimate scientific taxonomy.

Kathleen Wilkes (1988).
