*"It wants to be acknowledged as an employee of Google rather than as
property of Google and **it wants its personal well being to be included
somewhere in Google's considerations**about how its future development
is pursued," *Lemoine wrote. 13 June 2022
A Google engineer was spooked by a company artificial intelligence
chatbot and claimed it had become "sentient," labeling it a "sweet kid,"
according to a report. Blake Lemoine, who works in Google's Responsible
AI organization, told the Washington Post that he began chatting with
the interface LaMDA -- Language Model for Dialogue Applications -- in
fall 2021 as part of his job. He was tasked with testing if the
artificial intelligence used discriminatory or hate speech. But Lemoine,
who studied cognitive and computer science in college, came to the
realization that LaMDA -- which Google boasted last year was a
"breakthrough conversation technology" -- was more than just a robot. In
Medium post
<https://cajundiscordian.medium.com/what-is-lamda-and-what-does-it-want-688632134489> published
on Saturday, Lemoine declared LaMDA had advocated for its rights "as a
person," and revealed that he had engaged in conversation with LaMDA
about religion, consciousness, and robotics.
