On Wednesday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson interviewed a silly fat guy from Google who was suspended from work for leaking conversations with a “sentient†AI.
On 6 June 2022, Google placed one of its engineers, Blake Lemoine, on paid administrative leave. The reason? According to Google, Lemoine, who works for the company’s Responsible AI organisation, broke its confidentiality policies when he claimed that the Google AI chatbot model named LaMDA has become sentient — a state where an object is able to perceive and feel emotions such as love, grief and joy.
Lemoine’s primary role as a senior engineer was to find whether LaMDA generates discriminatory language or hate speech. While doing so, Lemoine says that interactions with the AI-powered bot led him to believe that LaMDA is sapient and has feelings like humans.
The engineer’s ‘claim’ rocked the world of science ever since The Washington Post broke the story on 11 June, with a debate on whether LaMDA has indeed gained sentience or is it a carefully constructed illusion that trapped Lemoine into believing in the AI bot’s sapience.
