Google Engineer Claims AI Computer Has Become Sent

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
According to Google engineer Blake Lemoine, an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot application called LaMDA, short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications, has achieved sentience, or independent self-aware consciousness
Google vice president Blaise Aguera y Arcas and Jen Gennai, head of Responsible Innovation, have dismissed Lemoine’s claims and placed him on paid administrative leave for breach of confidentiality
In a January 2022 paper, Google warned that a chatbot AI’s ability to impersonate a human being could be problematic if people don’t realize it’s not a real human. For example, someone with nefarious intent could use chatbots to “sow misinformation” by impersonating “specific individuals’ conversational style”
Believing AI can achieve sentience is also dangerous as it can lead people to think we can delegate problems to a machine and abdicate responsibility for important decisions
The fact that Google controls some of the best, most advanced AI in the world augments all the risks associated with the anthromorphication of machines. For example, it’s now glaringly obvious that Google is intentionally engaged in social engineering and censorship to further an anti-human agenda
