Where do you upload it to? What hardware? How much RAM? What's the CPU's clockspeed? Bus speed? Those are the right questions to ask when researching a new electronic gadget's capabilities, but I'm sure those are the wrong questions to ask if presented with hardware that could hold consciousness. Humanity understands so very little about consciousness, that, were we able to simulate it under the umbrella of AI, it would still advance the pre-natal field of uploaded digital consciousness.

I can think of specific exceptions, especially using a very strict definition of the field of AI research, that says that the fields are separate, but until we've succeeded at both, it's impossible to say what was actually necessary in order to get there.
