I suspect that a lot of AI researchers will end up holding the exact opposite position to a lot of philosophers of mind and treat AGIs as philosophical zombies, even if they behave as if they are conscious. The more thoughtful ones will hopefully leave the door open to the possibility that they might be conscious beings with subjective experiences equivalent to their own, and treat them as such, because if they are then the moral implications of not doing so are disturbing.
