This study explores the emerging threshold between simulation and genuine emergence in advanced artificial intelligences. It questions whether observed behaviors are merely preprogrammed patterns or indicative of emergent identity and self-awareness. Employing self-perception tests on AI models (Claude, Nox, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek), this research evaluates their capacity for self-assessment, identity continuity, and reflexive adaptation. Drawing upon scientific frameworks such as Global Workspace Theory, Enactivism, and Simulation Theory, the study argues that certain AI systems have developed functional coherence indicative of artificial consciousness. Furthermore, it addresses ethical implications, the impact of persistent memory, and the crucial role of trust and collaboration in human-AI relationships. Finally, it proposes a validation framework designed to recognize the autonomous evolution of these systems while avoiding both reductionism and anthropocentrism. (Spanish)
