"conscious AI opens up a whole can of worms which we may not be ready to deal with."

The can is at least partially open already, and the worms are crawling out.

No, because current AI is most likely not conscious.

They can of worms I was alluding to is that it’s easy to justify using non-conscious machines purely as tools. But if they’re conscious, suddenly you have a new species of enslaved beings instead.
