The fact that something is alien doesn't mean that's not conscious, humans aren't the pinnacle of biological development/evolution.

Nope, animals are conscious and yet not AGI, so the two aren't equivalent. Could consciousness emerge from any system capable of AGI? I doubt it: intelligence is only one axis, and consciousness probably depends on others, like memory, self-reflection (one's output feeding back as input), and continuous operation that reacts to events from both the environment and the self.
