The limitation of consciousness to a single human brain is a limitation resulting from evolution rather than some intrinsic characteristic of consciousness. A natural next step is the increased connectiveness of minds (probably through some matrix-like plug to cortex). I can imagine conscious higher level feelings of ‘being free' or ‘being democratic' of such connected (as opposed to collective) entity just like a single person has a feeling of being happy or hungry. The naive view of AI in pop culture is built of independent terminator-like agents while the reality of future AI computing may be more similar to single superbrain.
