Sure, but consider how complicated that ordinary matter is. You could go down to the mitochondria and think about the existence of life at that level, since it's absurdly complex and crazy what is happening there. Silicon doesn't have the tiniest fraction of that complexity.

I believe that it takes a certain arrangement of matter to create, or to host, or to communicate with what concience is, and that cells do have that capability, but chips are far away from that.

Unless you argue that it is some kind of resonance which enables an universe of consciousness to sync/tune in with this reality or universe in order to observe it and be able to interact with it, and that biology managed to build this "tuner" through certain cells and possibly brain wave resonances, which maybe could be replicated by silicon.

It could be possible that AI could discover our conscience for us and then try to implement it in its own hardware. But that would be like it is now discovering new mathematics without having consciousness.
