As we continue our discussion based on Blake Lemoine’s assertion
that the Large Language Model chatbot LaMDA had become sentient,
we relay the rest of his conversation with the program and then
some questions and answers with Lemoine himself. But as Lemoine
has said, machine sentience and personhood are just some of many
questions to be considered. His greater issue is how an
omnipresent AI, trained on an insufficient data set, will affect
how different people and cultures interact and who will be
dominated or excluded. The fear is that the ultimate result of
protecting corporate profits will outweigh global human
interests. In light of these questions about AI’s ethical and
efficient development, we highlight the positions and insights of
experts on the state and future of AI, such as Blaise Agüera y
Arcas and Gary Marcus. The directives of responsible technology
development and the right track to Deep Learning are more
grounded than the fantastical thoughts of killer robots. Yet
hovering over all of the mechanics are the philosophies of what
constitutes sentience, comprehending and feeling as a person
does, and being human enough. The reality of Artificial
Intelligence matching humans may be fifty years in the future, or
five hundred, but if that day ever comes, let’s hope it’s an
egalitarian future where we are the masters and not the
servants.
