It has been commonly argued, on the basis of Goedel'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.
