A call has been made by “Future of Life Institute” (FLI) an American non-governmental organisation to take a pause in artificial intelligence developments.
The new “LaMDA” (Language Model for Dialogue Applications) is not just an ordinary robot with AI. Developed by Google, it is a robot intended to converse with humans, a "chatbot" (contraction of "to chat", and "bot" for "robot"). Blake Lemoine, an American engineer at the company, claims that it is conscious.
