It'll need to grow a concept of "I" first, and that's probably not very likely; there's a reasonable case that self-awareness is an evolutionary cul-de-sac.
Peter Watts's Blindsight - good fiction on the one hand, and exhaustively referenced on the other. (Watts is the only sf author I've run across whose novels include discussions and bibliographies of the research he used to inform and shape the narrative. In addition to earning him a new high score on the hardness scale, this seems counterintuitively to produce better stories, not worse ones.)
