Can AI ever be truly conscious — or is it all just an illusion of intelligence?

In this provocative episode, we dive into the mind of Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, who argues that true intelligence requires consciousness, and current AI — no matter how advanced — will never achieve it.

Penrose challenges the hype by:
🧠 Citing Gödel’s incompleteness theorem to show how human insight transcends rule-based computation
⚛️ Suggesting consciousness emerges from non-computable, quantum-level physics
🚫 Asserting that modern AI, grounded in computable math, can mimic but never understand

We explore:
Why Penrose believes “Artificial Intelligence” is a misleading term
The fascinating contrast between human consciousness and machine algorithms
How quantum mechanics and non-algorithmic processes may be key to unlocking real awareness
Is Penrose resisting progress — or seeing deeper truths others ignore?

🎧 Tune in for a mind-bending exploration of what it really means to be conscious — and why AI might never get there.
