The problem with treating AIs as philosophical zombies is that unlike the definition of the latter, in which the p-zombie is identical to a human *physically* and cognitively, is that AIs at present (to my knowledge) lack physical sensors, or human-like biochemical inputs. So AIs are not p-zombies. Will they add sensors and at least simulated biochemical inputs? Good question.

Maybe a more pertinent question would be, are AIs conscious, and does consciousness require being identical physically to humans? I believe my cats are conscious, yet they are obviously not identical physically to humans. Maybe they think they're superior to us, but cats are definitely different from us. AIs are physically different from humans, but that mean they can't have consciousness? If they can, that's another reason not to consider them to be p-zombies, or any other type of zombie.
