If that doesn't happen, then afaik the best guess is that consciousness, ones self, the soul is an illusion generated by the entire brain working together as one.
Part of me yearns for a discovery of a physical manifestation of the Soul. The realist in me doesn't think that is likely.
Our best bet may be genetic modification, and then transference of the brain to a chamber to allow it to remain safe, immortal, connected to all the stimuli we want, remotely. We'd have cured aging and disease by then, thus the brain should remain intact indefinitely save for malicious actions.
It could perhaps one day act as this quaint little afterthought in our much larger computerized consciousness. A vestigial brain, like the remanent of primitive fish brains our brains are structured around. Perhaps its only purpose to generate a sense of "self". A sentimental attachment even.
We will probably all just die and robots will gradually take over though tbh fam
