Insight Innovation: Die gefährliche Frage: Hat KI ein Bewusstsein?
KI-Unternehmen suchen in ihren Modellen nach Anzeichen für Bewusstsein und sorgen sich sogar um ihr Wohlergehen. Forscher und Philosophen warnen vor einem Irrtum mit gravierenden Folgen.
Berlin. Blake Lemoine, a Google employee, believed that the AI model Lambda was more than just a machine after extended discussions with it. Lemoine, in a published interview, quoted himself, saying, "I want to make sure that everyone understands that I am a person." His conviction that Lambda possessed consciousness led him to try and hire a lawyer to advocate for Lambda's rights.
Soon after, Google terminated Lemoine's employment. This story, however, transcends the status of a mere anecdote about a lone enthusiast.
