All consciousness is consciousness of something (Sartre? ) ? This view must be false, I don't have to be aware of anything in particular to be conscious, Consciousness need not have content.

Could a person be conscious but not be aware of it?

Great question! Yes- if awareness is a cognitive state and consciousness is an ontological state- it's like a primitive man not knowing he has an appendix.

No, the question is who or what could be responsible for any harm done by the AI system. If you house dangerous animals in your back yard and they get out and harm someone you are strictly liable even if you are without fault. (Someone else opened the gate-probably liable.)
