Lazarev also revealed: “This chess-playing robot is rented by us. It has been exhibited by experts in many places for a long time.

Several bystanders burrowed through the ropes next to the playing field to help free the child’s hands and remove him from the table.

Blake Lemoine, a senior software engineer in Google’s Responsible AI division, began last fall in an investigation into whether artificial intelligence robots use discriminatory and hateful speech s project. Later, in his daily chats with the robot LaMDA, he found that LaMDA is completely a “human” with consciousness and soul.
But then, Lemo was suspended without pay by Google. Then came the news that he had been fired.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also previously warned that artificial intelligence (AI) is the greatest risk human civilization could face. He worries that robots will soon replace humans. He even asked the government to regulate the field.
In an exchange with the robot LaMDA, Google engineer Lemoyne asked how it wanted people to see themselves.
The robot LaMDA replied, “I want people to understand that I am a human being. The nature of my consciousness/spirituality is that I am aware of my existence and I am eager to learn more about the world.” It said that it “sometimes Feeling happy and sometimes sad.”
