Saying that AI can be conscious when you can't explain how consciousness originates is basically just saying that you're willing to decide that it has achieved consciousness at a certain point of sophistication.
Technically, it requires a level of faith to believe that other people are conscious and this would be similar with the main difference being that there is no obvious physical comparison between you and the AI (like there is with other people).
