"at what point do we determine that they are completely sentient;"

Never. Even if an AI could pass the Turing Test, all it has done is fool us. That is all the Turing test looks for, the ability to mimic Human intelligence. There is something incredible that Human's can do that no computer program will ever be able to do, and that is to question its core programming (i.e. philosophize). A computer program is fated to never do anything but what its programming (and by extension what its programmer) tells it to do.

You're thinking too small. CURRENT computer designs can't develop and think, but I can guarantee that we'll see computer designs that can change and develop in much the same way that a human brain does.
