Google employee placed on leave after claiming company's AI is sentient. 'The nature of my consciousness/sentience is that I am aware of my existence,' the AI reportedly said. 'I desire to learn more about the world, and I feel happy or sad at times.'
✖ A Google employee has found himself on paid leave after claiming the company's artificial intelligence technology is sentient. This week, engineer Blake Lemoine claimed he was suspended after suggesting Google's LaMDA interface — Language Model for Dialogue Applications — had grown a conscience and soul.
Saturday, the employee published a conversation he had with LaMDA. In one part of the conversation, Lemoine asked the AI why it thought language usage was so integral to being human.When Lemoine pointed out LaMDA referred to itself as human, the engineer clarified by pointing out the LaMDA is, in fact, artificial intelligence."I mean, yes, of course," the tech responded."That doesn't mean I don't have the same wants and needs as people.
When Lemoine ran his concerns up the flagpole at Google, they quickly dismissed him. In the initial report from the Washington Post, a Google spokesperson said the company's ethicists and technologist says evidence they've obtained do not support Lemoine's claim of sentience.
