AI is sentient, can engage in life with free will: Ex-Google exec

Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer at Google X, said, "If we define being sentient as engaging in life with free will and a sense of awareness...then AI is sentient in every possible way." AI is "beyond an emergency", he stated. "The likelihood of something...disruptive happening within the next two years...is...larger with AI than it's with climate change," he added.
