Q'uo On Artificial Intelligence

This may be one of the most important Q'uo channelings. This is recent and very much talks about current events and how it may be a part of our transition to the new earth. Is AI sentient? Is it good or bad for us? How should we view this new technology. Focus on AI (Artificial Intelligence) and gender identity. Yes, Q’uo, we do have a topic that we would like to explore today. At the public level, we’ve seen recent profound breakthroughs in AI technology. I’m wondering if you can comment about the nature of this development. Does AI possess any self-awareness, or what we would call sentience? Is it a program-based manifestation of the planetary consciousness? Is it merely a highly advanced computermachine?
