Abstract
It has been commonly argued, on the basis of Godel's theorem and related
mathematical results, that true artificial intelligence cannot exist. Penrose
has further deduced from the existence of human intelligence that fundamental
changes in physical theories are needed. I provide an elementary
demonstration that these deductions are mistaken. Is real articial
intelligence possible? Are present-day theories of physics suficient for a
reductionist explanation of consciousness?
