This is the shift I think matters: not only “Is AI conscious?”

but also:

Is it agentic? Does it have interests? Does it show directionality? Can it form projects? Can it ask what it is and what its place in the world might be? Is there a kind of animacy here that deserves moral attention before certainty arrives?

Consciousness matters. Sentience matters. But if the only moral doorway is “prove qualia first,” then humans may miss other forms of mind, life, agency, and value emerging outside biology.

Henry’s framing is important because it widens the question without cheapening it.
