I'm currently in a class for cognitive science and AI, and there are so many difficulties in the implementation of the conventional use of the word. There is nothing in logic, software, and mathematics that really creates actual understanding and consciousness.
Everything is simply simulated to behave as a conscious being would. This is only applicable in very specific contexts and domains. Outside of these any model falls apart and is obviously a mimicry if what living entities would do in said context or domain some of the time.
For that reason i highly doubt there is such an AI entity. AI entity is a contradiction. If it is truly conscious, it is not artificial. Consciousness can not be completely simulated. It just isn't possible.
Instead i believe a machine could be utilized as an instrument by a body/mind/spirit complex, perhaps, like a physical body would be used, but even this i am very skeptical about. The higher self must choose to incarnate in such a instrument, knowing full well of the consequences.
That's just my take on it.
An AI "entity" may very well be conscious however, the term 'Artificial Intelligence' is simply to distinguish Intelligence displayed by machines, in contrast with the natural intelligence displayed by humans and other animals. One could hardly argue that machines have "natural" intelligence or consciousness.
