Engage in a dialectical discussion regarding the potential rights of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Start with the Thesis: AGI is solely a tool and holds no moral status. Present the Antithesis: If an AGI demonstrates consciousness and suffering, it deserves moral consideration. Synthesize these positions by defining a set of objective criteria (e.g., integrated information theory, behavioral benchmarks) that must be met for an entity to be granted 'moral patienthood'. Address counter-arguments regarding simulation of consciousness versus actual consciousness.
