I have a hypothesis on how computers could gain sentience

RE: I have a hypothesis on how computers could gain sentience
The computer system running those algorithms would be hard-pressed to "realize" anything, so far as any of us can tell. Unless they were programmed for sentient learning, how would they attain that?

We humans have a difficult-enough time defining what "consciousness" means in our own species, much less a non-living machine.
