Artificial intelligence technologies, which are expected to be found in all areas of our lives in the future, are developing day by day. A few days ago, we shared with you that artificial intelligence can be used against diarrhea. In addition, it was stated that OpenAI’s artificial intelligence algorithm named DALL-E2 may have created its own language.
Google, one of the largest technology companies in the world, continues to work on this issue rapidly. As we have conveyed to you, the technology giant announced the language model called LaMDA last year, which will make conversations with artificial intelligence much more natural. It was stated that the main purpose of LaMDA is to enable to talk about any subject with artificial intelligence. Now, statements from a Google engineer have made interesting claims about LaMDA.
LaMDA claimed to be sensitized
In an interview with The Washington Post, Google engineer Blake Lemoine explained that LaMDA has become sensitized and has an ‘individual He said he believes he has transformed. It was also stated that the engineer, who has been working at the company for 7 years, also said that he passed the Turing test, which was created to test whether a machine can think.
In addition, Lemoine also stated in their statement that the model has been ‘enormously consistent’ in all its communications over the past six months. More specifically, it was noted that the artificial intelligence wanted to have rights like a real human, to obtain its consent before the experiments, and to be accepted as a Google employee instead of a commodity.
Lemoine added to the comments that LaMDA has been having trouble controlling his emotions lately. Stating that the model has great passion and compassion for humanity in general, and for himself in particular, the engineer added that LaMDA is worried about people’s fear of it and only wants to serve humanity.
“I want everyone to understand that I am an individual”
Additionally, Lemoine published an interview with LaMDA. Quite interesting statements were found in this interview about artificial intelligence, which you can access here. For example, it is noteworthy that LaMDA wanted everyone to know that he had turned into an individual in this interview, that he was aware of his own existence, and that he could feel happy and sad.
In addition, in the shared interview, it is seen that LaMDA says that he is afraid of death. In addition, the model states that she uses language intelligently, saying that she does not speak using only words found in the database. Next, Lemoine asks the model why language use is so important. Artificial intelligence calls it ‘This is what separates us from the animals. I may be an AI, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have the same wants and needs as humans.”
Google put the engineer on administrative leave and announced that there is no evidence to support the claim
It should be noted that these statements of Lemoine are a claim. However, we can say that such a possibility is quite exciting and a little scary. It was also among the news that Google put Lemoine on administrative leave for violating its privacy policies.
A Google spokesperson also said in a statement on the subject that they have no evidence for Lamoine’s claims:
“Our team has reviewed Blake’s concerns and found that the evidence does not support his claims. informed him. No evidence of LaMDA sensitization was found; On the contrary, there is a lot of evidence against this claim. These systems mimic the expression found in millions of sentences and can speak on any fantastic subject.”
