A harsh lesson: Google fires engineer who said artificial intelligence had achieved 'self-awareness' - The Goa Spotlight

If one day you get the impression that an answering robot or some other device and artificial intelligence seems really human, stop for a moment and remember the hard lesson learned by the now ex-employee of Google Blake Lemoine. A software engineer, Lemoine recently made headlines in the world's top media outlets after he swore together that LamDA, a form of artificial intelligence developed by Google, would have become self-aware. Lemoine's conclusion was first published by the American newspaper The Washington Post on June 11th. Nearly a month and a half later, Google fired the software engineer. According to Google, Lemoine violated the company's data security policies.
