Actually, I mostly agree with you, except I disagree that consciousness is something only biological things posses so that any idea around it being a key part of AI would be an anthropocentrism.

I believe instead consciousness is the method of achieving this self design and self improvement that you have mentioned will be the basis of the technological singularity.

AGI is the false presumption that we must re-make us completely with silicon and software, and that somehow, it will feel pain, have emotions, and will be viewed as a special being with the same rights as a human. It's a religious-adjacent fool's errand.
