A software engineer who was fired by Google after he blew the whistle on the danger of artificial intelligence (AI) to the public has turned his attention to Microsoft’s newest AI chatbot, Bing Search.
On Monday, Lemoine targeted Microsoft’s AI in an op-ed for Newsweek, calling the technology behind it “the most powerful technology that has been invented since the atomic bomb. In my view, this technology has the ability to reshape the world.”
Blake Lemoine first made headlines in 2022 after he claimed that Google’s AI chatbot was becoming sentient, and might even have a soul.
