I don't believe that computers will become conscious.

Conscious beings weren't assembled from manmade parts strewn together from factories around the world. We were created organically in our mother's womb.

An automatic sweeper, for example, can't look at a floor, recognize that it's dirty and needs to be cleaned, and then clean it. It just rolls around and sucks because we told it to. And even if we come out with ones that only go to work when the floor is dirty, it STILL didn't determine that by itself. It's not conscious.

We can make machines more intelligent but intelligence is not consciousness.
