Google said it does not comment on personnel matters when asked about Lemoine’s suspension. Blake Lemoine, a software engineer on Google’s artificial intelligence development team, has gone public with claims of encountering “sentient” AI on the company’s servers after he was suspended for sharing confidential information about the project with third parties. “Some in the broader AI community are considering the long-term possibility of sentient or general AI, but it doesn’t make sense to do so by anthropomorphizing today’s conversational models, which are not sentient,” Google spokesperson Brian Gabriel said in response. To be criticized in such brilliant terms by @sapinker may be one of the highest honors I have ever received. https://t.co/RDAnjvIZJC — Blake Lemoine (@cajundiscordian) June 12, 2022(This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)
