On Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, Artificial Intelligence & Human Mind

Abstract

In this essay, I discuss Gödel’s incompleteness theorem and plausible implications to Artificial Intelligence/Life and human mind. Perhaps we should agree with Sullins III, that the value of this finding is not to discourage certain types of research in AL, but rather to help move us in a direction where we can more clearly define the results of that research. Gödel’s incompleteness theorem has its own limitations, but so do Artificial Life systems. Based on our experiences, human mind has incredible abilities to interact with other part of human body including heart, which makes it difficult to simulate in AI/AL systems. However, it remains an open question to predict whether the future of AI including robotics science can bring this gap closer or not.
