Following an article on HN a week ago or so, one could argue that we'd need to prove three things: agency, perspective and motivation. If the AI device decides on its own to do or not do something; has and idea of its own place in the world; and wants to achieve something in that world. then we might as well call it sentient.

Interestingly, a web crawler seems closer to sentience following this logic than most AI.
