The quote directly supports the full claim: it says there is a 'serious possibility' that 'conscious LLM+s' will exist 'within a decade.' Since LLM+s are AI, this is clearly about AI possibly becoming conscious.

Verified: the Boston Review article "Could a Large Language Model Be Conscious?" is by David J. Chalmers and was published on August 9, 2023; at line 252, it contains the sentence verbatim: "Again, you shouldn’t take the exact numbers too seriously, but this reasoning suggests that on mainstream assumptions, it’s a serious possibility that we’ll have conscious LLM+s within a decade."
