Has Artificial Intelligence gained sentience?

A week ago, Blake Lemoine, who works at Google's Responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) team announced the company's Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA) was sentient . He has since been suspended by the company due to breach of confidentiality. His disclosure was just a few days after Google Vice President Blaise Agüera y Arcas noted in an interview how AI was making strides towards consciousness . Krafton, the makers of PUBG game, also announced ANA, a virtual human that looks real and is powered by hyperrealism and AI. Before we answer the question, let us first understand what sentience is.
