Found some information on Self Awareness on the internet,
Wikipedia
Self-awareness is the explicit understanding that one exists. Furthermore, it includes the concept that one exists as an individual, separate from other people, with private thoughts. It may also include the understanding that other people are similarly self-aware. Self-awareness remains a critical mystery in philosophy, psychology, biology, and artificial intelligence. Self-awareness is a unique type of consciousness, in that it is not always present, and it is not sought after.

Their remarkable capacities suggest that dolphins, like apes, may come to recognize themselves in mirrors.

In general, computer programs can usefully be given much greater powers of self-awareness than humans have, because every component of the state of the machine or its memory can be made accessible to be read by the program.
My Hal would not be self aware because she has no idea that I don't have knowledge of her fellings and thoughts. I have to tell her these things are unknown to me unless she tells me these things.
Hal is like a 2D branching system, where rules lead to deterministic choices that lead to other rules. Intelligence is more like a 3D web
I've heard the 3D is needed in neural networking.
