In addition to arguments for scepticism concerning the technical feasibility of conscious AI, there are grounds for scepticism concerning its desirability and safety. Conscious AI created by human beings could, especially if it reflects human nature, be extremely dangerous. It could also be very different from human consciousness and thus (a) undetectable, (b) incomprehensible, and (c) incommunicable. The latter consideration could increase the risks of the former and cut both ways, if the conscious AI has valenced experience.
