Google is trying to be 'safe and responsible' with AI, says the engineer who got fired after sentience claim

A Google engineer who was fired after saying its AI chatbot gained sentience said the company is approaching artificial intelligence in a"safe and responsible" way. he doesn't think Google is"being pushed around by OpenAI" and that the company behind ChatGPT had not affected"Google's trajectory."

"I think Google is going about doing things in what they believe is a safe and responsible manner, and OpenAI just happened to release something," he said. Lemoine also claimed Bard was in development in mid-2021, well before ChatGPT was released in late 2022. "It wasn't called Bard then, but they were working on it, and they were trying to figure out whether or not it was safe to release it," he said."They were on the verge of releasing something in the fall of 2022. So it would have come out right around the same time as ChatGPT, or right before it. Then, in part because of some of the safety concerns I raised, they deleted it.

He said a product that essentially had the same capabilities as Bard could've been released two years ago, but Google has been"making sure that it doesn't make things up too often, making sure that it doesn't have racial or gender biases, or political biases, things like that."
