Earlier this year, a Google engineer made headlines around the world when he claimed that Google’s most advanced Artificial Intelligence system laMDA was conscious and aware of its existence. The story went on for weeks, the engineer was put on administrative leave and eventually fired. Before he left Google, the story developed to the point where the AI was alleged to have hired an attorney. The attorney eventually backed down, and the story, like many others, faded away.
