Saying "AI has emotions", Google engineer was fired: corporate policy that violated product information

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Google engineers who have previously said that "AI have emotions" have recently been fired. According to BBC reports on the 23rd, Google announced on the 22nd that it fired an engineer named Black Lemin, on the grounds that the engineer violated the company's policy of protecting product information and ensuring data security. Leimin's work in Google is to test whether the artificial intelligence dialogue is involved in discrimination or hatred. Last month, he publicly stated through a blog post that he believed that Google's artificial intelligence natural language dialogue procedure was conscious and could expand dialogue and expression on issues such as religion, emotion and fear. Lemin's blog post has attracted widespread concern. Many people compare the situation he reflected with the plot of the science fiction "Matrix" and "Terminator".

However, some experts said that the so -called procedural consciousness mentioned by Leimin is actually the result of complex algorithm simulation of human language. Before being fired, Lemin had been arranged for a paid vacation by Google. In the notice of firing, Google Zhu Lemin was lucky in the future, and Lemin said that he was being fired for legal consultation. Leimin was not the first engineer to consider artificial intelligence technology to be conscious. Last month, another Google employee had shared a similar view with the Economist magazine. (Li Fei)
