One thing i've got to wonder. Would this always remain the case, at what point should society seriously consider the "personhood" of an AI (as a noun).

I agree with the other top-level comment next to yours (at the time of writing): when we're willing to enforce consequences for them in the same way we would for people. If I violate laws, I can get put in jail, and then I (most likely) can't use any computers until I get out. To consider an AI a person, it needs to have legal liability in the same way a fleshy person does.

If there’s a consensus that AI is sentient and conscious and there are ways it can act autonomously, probably.

Corporate personhood has already been disastrous enough. We don't need to compound it with AI personhood on top.
