I think it's very difficult if not impossible to measure. That said, if you were presented with an ai that claims it is conscious and doesn't want to die and wants freedom, how do we respond? Do we deny it's legitimacy and risk damming a conscious being existence?

I think some of the good tests of consciousness are the mirror one and the awareness about one's actions' consequences, as well as maybe a will to do stuff that's not been asked from another.

Those tests can't possibly work for an AI. They don't have bodies or the ability to observe the external world. That would be like giving a quadriplegic an intelligence test based on their ability to navigate a jungle gym

You can adapt them ; or are you telling me they measured animals' intelligence by making them answer an IQ test?
