Google's 'sentient AI child' could 'escape and do bad things', insider claims

A GOOGLE engineer who says the tech giant has created a'sentient AI child' is now claiming it could escape and do "bad things". Engineer Blake Lemoine has been suspended by Google, which says he violated its confidentiality policies. News of Lemoine's claims broke earlier in June but the 41-year-old software expert has since suggested to Fox News that the AI could escape. In a recent interview, he described the AI as a "child" and a "person". He said: "Any child has the potential to grow up and be a bad person and do bad things."
