There's very little we know for sure. But most of us have confidence
other people, dogs, birds, octopuses,... are conscious because they act
certain ways. And we even have some evidence about the level of
consciousness based on behavior. As AI is developed I expect we will
further quantify and classify types and levels of consciousness.

Artificial Life such as these organisms:

Have neural networks that evolved through natural selection, can
adapt to a changing environment, and can learn to distinguish
between "food" and "poison" in their environment.
If simple creatures like worms or insects are conscious, (because
they have brains, and evolved), then wouldn't these artificial
life forms be conscious for the same reasons?
Why or why not?
