Not sure how i feel about this. Brain cells lead to brains which lead to consciousness. I hope they are being very careful to not step over a line here.
Clearly 1 brain cell isn't aware by itself. But once you put a bumch together and it can start accomplishing task, like this, you need to be very careful.
