@ Paul.. doesnt mean it'll be perfect..just moreso than us.

I was watching I, Robot the other day, and it brought to question how we would even know when the boundary between lines of code and self aware being is crossed. How will we know whether the complexity of articulation and sensitivity achieved is just a fascimily or is actually the formation of what we might term as a soul? I think it's possible that it can and will be crossed as AI evolves...and our trouble as humans will be recognizing this and learning to treat and respect them as self aware (perhaps not living by our definition but self aware nonetheless) beings.
