Google has suspended an engineer who claims the internet giant’s AI technology is self-aware and has a soul.
“Some in the broader A.I.
Lemoine maintains that Google’sLanguage Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA)has “consciousness and a soul.”

The company also claimed at the time that it would act ethically and responsibly with the technology.
A new version, LaMDA 2, was announced earlier this year.
“Language might be one of humanity’s greatest tools, but like all tools it can be misused.
“Our highest priority, when creating technologies like LaMDA, is working to ensure we minimize such risks.
LaMDA is a neural internet system that “learns” by analyzing piles of data and extrapolating from that.
Neural networks are being used in the field of video games, too.
