Google suspended researcher Blake Lemoine over his remarks on the AI bot
He claimed that Google’s AI bot had become sentient
His remark was about the AI LaMDa (Language Model for Dialogue Applications)
LaMDA is used to create chatbots that interact with human users
Lemoine said the Google AI he interacted with was a person
He tried to prove it, but senior officials rejected it
Lemoine was a software engineer on Google’s artificial intelligence development team
Google has now put him on paid leave for breaching the confidentiality policy
