JAKARTA - Alphabet Inc's Google announced on Friday, July 22 that it has fired a senior software engineer who claims that the LaMDA company's artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot is actually a person.
Google, which put software engineer Blake Lemoine on leave last month, said he had violated company policy and deemed his claims at LaMDA "completely unfounded."
"It is regrettable that despite his long involvement on this topic, Blake still chooses to continue to violate clear employment and data security policies that cover the need to protect product information," a Google spokesperson said in an email to Reuters.
Last year, Google said that LaMDA - the Language Model for Dialog Applications - builds on the company's research showing a Transformer-based language model trained on dialogue to be able to learn to talk about anything.
Google and many leading scientists were quick to dismiss Lemoine's views as misguided, saying LaMDA was just a complex algorithm designed to produce convincing human language.
Lemoine's dismissal was first reported by Big Technology, a technology and society newsletter.
