Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google said on Friday it has dismissed a senior software engineer who claimed the company's artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot LaMDA was a self-aware person.
The suspension of a Google engineer who claimed that a computer chatbot he was working on was “thinking and reasoning like a human” has cast new light on the capabilities of, and secrecy surrounding, the world of artificial intelligence (AI), according to the Guardian.
