For over half a century, Penrose, who co-authored cosmological theories with his student Stephen Hawking, has been regarded as one of the world's foremost authorities on non-computability, and his Nobel Prize is both for physics and non-computational logic also in connection to geometry. Like most other devout students of Kurt Goedel's incompleteness theorems from 1930, he considers that, in the wake of A. Church and A. Turing's papers, any dream of putting intelligence into an algorithm is ruled out in principle. He says, "intelligence is not what computers do". His book from the 1980s, the Emperor's New Mind, is largely unchallenged as for today.
MY OPINION: In the light of the fact that AI is a misnomer, we should at least quote the letters when using them, "AI", and work to find a better expression. My own favourite alternative is derived from the notion of 'search engine'. I propose that we should rename "AI Research" to "HIE Research", or, in other words, "Human Imitation Engine Research."
