Abstract
- DEPARTMENTS: Periscope TECH WHEN BLAKE LEMOINE WENT public in June about his experience with an advanced artificial intelligence program at Google called LaMDA - the two, he says, have become "friends" - his story was greeted with fascination, skepticism and a dash of mockery usually reserved for people who claim to have seen a UFO.
