I would have to say he seemed to be self aware, beyond an AI system which would be simply a spaceship engineering tool.
His self awareness was not quite as scary as the lesser AI self awareness of Bomb #20 in Dark Star. Here we see a self awareness which is truly human. Of course you have just give a child a bomb to play with, so buyer beware.

HAL thought he was conscious, but it was all in his mind.
