Abstract

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.
