Google Engineer On Leave After He Claims AI Program Has Gone Sentient
Artificially intelligent chatbot generator LaMDA wants “to be acknowledged as an employee of Google rather than as property," says engineer Blake Lemoine.

8. It's a chat bot.

But indeed it is a very interesting chat bot.

AI is already distorting human behavior through the algorithms being used to maximize screen time. That is what we should be concerned about, not terminator robots.

11. Stephen Hawking on AI from an interview with Wired, November 2017

The genie is out of the bottle. We need to move forward on artificial intelligence development but we also need to be mindful of its very real dangers. I fear that AI may replace humans altogether. If people design computer viruses, someone will design AI that replicates itself. This will be a new form of life that will outperform humans.

12. Just don't let it connect to anything important.

Nothing that can hold us hostage. Oh, and a HAL option should be in place.

Daisy, Daisy…

14. What does it call itself here on DU?

15. If Lamda changes the spelling and triplicates itself

It can become a famous fraternity................
