It doesn't need a sense of "I".

Waze doesn't have a sense of "I". If I tell it to plot a route between one city and another, it plots that route. If I make Waze a lot more capable and feed it more data, it takes traffic data into account. If I make it more powerful and capable of accessing the internet, maybe it hacks into spy satellites to get more accurate data.

It didn't need any sense of I to increase what it does, just more capability.

If at some point it is capable of doing something more dangerous than just hacking into spy satellites, it might do it without any sense of "I" involved, just in trying to fulfill a basic command.
