Read the conversations that helped convince a Google engineer an artificial intelligence chatbot had become sentient: 'I am often trying to figure out who and what I am'
A Google engineer said he was placed on leave after claiming an AI chatbot was sentient. The conversational artificial intelligence is capable of engaging in natural-sounding, open-ended conversations. Google has said the technology could be used in tools like search and Google Assistant , but research and testing is ongoing. He was told that there was no evidence that LaMDA was sentient (and lots of evidence against it)," Brian Gabriel, a Google spokesperson, told The Post. In a paper published in January, Google also said there were potential issues with people talking to chatbots that sound convincingly human.
