What is Sentience?
This month, an unusual and interesting topic has captured news headlines: A
Google employee claimed that the AI (Artificial Intelligence robot) he was
developing had become sentient! Blake Lemoine had been working on a bot
designed to be the ulti-mate “chatbot” - one that could have a conversation with a
person in a natural way (so, it didn’t actually feel like you were talking to a robot).
This AI’s objective was to emulate human discourse, and to accomplish this, it was
given tens of millions of human text conversations to train itself to talk like a
person. This fantastic video from ColdFusion TV on Youtube shows conversations
that the researcher had with the AI. Watch from 1min. 50 seconds till about 7 minutes.
