By the way, one possible scenario would be that the AI is provided with a body - we could imagine that it's attached via radio, say, to an android that is apparently human. To make this scenario deliberately extreme, for the sake of argument, if the AI only interacts with the world via this android, it might not (at least in a Philip K Dick short story) even realise it isn't just another human, like the ones it interacts with every day. In this particular scenario, it seems very unlikely it wouldn't be aware that other people existed.
