Has Google’s AI Gone Too Far?

Nitasha Tiku, Tech Culture reporter for The Washington Post, broke the story of a Google engineer who claimed the company’s artificial intelligence chatbot, LaMDA, was sentient. She joins Jon to give a first-hand account of what the Google engineer saw inside its chatbot and make the case that the real fear shouldn’t be whether AI is alive, but whether it’s real enough to fool us. We need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless.
