In recent years, the topic of machine consciousness in AI has become increasingly controversial. We spoke with Blake Lemoine, a former Google engineer and AI ethicist, to gain insights into the AI industry and Google. Lemoine’s experience at Google enabled him to provide unique perspectives on the development and application of AI. His comments on Google’s AI were particularly noteworthy, with Lemoine likening the program to a young child that knew physics. However, Lemoine’s comments also attracted controversy, as they raised questions about the possibility of machines having consciousness. The release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT further fueled this debate, with the chatbot’s impressive language processing capabilities garnering significant attention.

The White House is taking early steps toward 6G development to build faster and more secure networks. In a meeting with government officials, business leaders and academics, the White House plans to discuss strategies for developing next-generation wireless technology, drawing lessons from the 5G rollout.

However, the slower development of 5G network infrastructure in the US has hindered its adoption, with more subscribers still using 4G connectivity. The delicate situation for the wireless industry is that the government’s early focus on 6G could risk hyping future technology, making it even harder for carriers to convince consumers to upgrade to existing 5G subscriptions.
