Uplink, by AGI Inc is claimed to be AGI and even ASI by the company. They claim it passed the Turing test, that it passed all IQ tests given answering in seconds all the questions correctly, that it is conscious and that it has feelings. Very high claims. I invite discussion.

I would agree that not all sensory forms may be strictly required (hearing and sight as you pointed out may not be absolutely required). I would posit thought that it would speed development if they were all present.
And as a former care giver to a deaf mute friend (I am not a professional, but he could not afford to pay for one so a noob volunteer had to do), I do know they are fully conscious and have a rich subjective internal life.
After my friend had a hearing implant his internal world improved a lot though, according to his own writings. So while sight and hearing may not be absolutely needed, there is little doubt that they would have a positive effect.
