Google has launched a UK version of an app that lets users interact with the artificial intelligence system <\/b>one of its engineers has claimed is sentient<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It is a very limited trial, with just three scenarios to choose from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

And while Google wants feedback about how its Language Model for Dialogue Applications (Lamda) performs, the app users cannot teach it any new tricks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The company has always maintained the technology, used to power chatbots, and has no independent thoughts and feelings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

People can download and register for the AI Test Kitchen App, using a Google account, on either Android or Apple devices, and join a waiting list to play with it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

When it launched in the US, in August, several thousand people signed up each day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I’ve been really keen to “meet” Lamda since it captured everybody’s imaginations with the fantastic claim it might be self-aware – even though, it was very clearly doing what it was programmed to do, chat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

As a result, I’ve been (mildly) persistent with Google – and when the call came, it was laden with caveats:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
