The Emperor's New Mind
Concerning Computers, Minds, and the Laws of Physics
by:
Roger Penrose
in:
Mathematics
Summary:
The book explores the limitations of computational theories of mind, arguing that human consciousness cannot be replicated by machines due to the non-algorithmic nature of human thought processes. It delves into the realms of quantum mechanics, cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy to support the argument that understanding physical processes alone is insufficient to explain consciousness.
Key points:
1. Algorithmic Computation Limits: Penrose argues that AI can't replicate human consciousness due to non-computable elements in human thinking, based on Gödel's incompleteness theorem.
