An engineer at Google just warned the company that its chatbot LaMDA might be alive after it passed the Turing test. A few days later Google placed him on administrative leave. Blake Lemoine's whistleblowing account raises some serious questions about the nature of consciousness and our ethical responsibilities to the intelligent computer programs that we're already creating.
You've probably seen this story in the news already. It has been everywhere. It basically set the internet on fire.
In this week's video I'm looking past the internet memes and wild speculation to try to understand what a conscious computer program means in terms of human consciousness. In it I draw on the neuroscience of split brains that I wrote about in The Wedge and speculate that the most important consideration in studying consciousness isn't what things are thinking, but the relationships that form during conscious interaction. If you read the Wedge you'll see where I'm going with this.
