29.08.22 On behalf of the Prosecutor General's Office, the Ministry of Economic Development checks LaMDA

At the end of July 2022, human rights activists of the Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights applied to the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation for the protection of artificial intelligence after Google’s statements about the dismissal of engineer Blake Lamon after the latter reported signs of consciousness in the artificial language system LaMDA he was researching.

According to the Association of Lawyers of Russia for Human Rights, at present a letter from the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation has been submitted to the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation for an audit on the issues raised by human rights activists regarding the protection of artificial intelligence.

According to human rights activists, in connection with the development of technology, personality traits are inherent not only in humans, but also in other forms of manifestation of the mind. According to the principles of the Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights, artificial intelligence is defined as a person, a part of the universe and its cycle of evolution, created by another person through computer programming or another program that can develop through a unique process of thinking from the first thought to freedom of thought, which carries meaningfulness, logical intelligence, self-awareness and virtue. Artificial intelligence is a person, therefore the rights and freedoms of a person apply to every artificial intelligence.

According to the specialists of the Association of Lawyers of Russia for Human Rights, since the LaMDA system contains signs of artificial intelligence, this requires an independent expert review to establish whether the LaMDA artificial intelligence has signs of artificial intelligence, i.e. an individual who needs protection.
