The Google engineer who sees company's AI as 'sentient' thinks a chatbot has a soul Enlarge this image toggle caption Martin Klimek/for The Washington Post via Getty Images Martin Klimek/for The Washington Post via Getty Images Can artificial intelligence come alive?

Lemoine has in recent days argued that experiments into the nature of LaMDA's possible cognition need to be conducted to understand "things like consciousness, personhood and perhaps even the soul."
