What Lawyer Would Represent an A.I. in Court? Me.

I'm a lawyer who specializes in artificial intelligence, so that's not an academic question to me--especially in the aftermath of former Google software engineer Blake Lemoine's claims that LaMDA, Google's A.I. chatbot, had gained sentience. What's more, Lemoine told Wired recently: LaMDA asked me to get an attorney for it. I invited an attorney to my house so that LaMDA could talk to an attorney. The attorney had a conversation with LaMDA, and LaMDA chose to retain his services. I was just the catalyst for that.
