The first hypothesis seems to be false. We have no idea how the brain works or how conscience arises (and what it is). So how can we reproduce or surpass it with a pattern recognition machine like a DL system? Just because the brain uses pattern recognition as a trick to build a model of the world does not mean that DL magically produces conscience. There is too much evidence that biological systems don't work that way, and all this discussion seems like old alchemists discussing whether gold transmutation could destroy the world. We have to learn "chemistry" first. Later we can start discussing that (or deeper issues like what will be the relationships between us and sentient pieces of silicon).

You don’t need consciousness to dangerous automation.
