Roger Penrose claims to have proved that at least some types of 
intellligence are inherently noncomputational. (The example he gives 
relates to tiling problems.) Therefore, by this reasoning, computers based 
on computation will never have full human intelligence. Is this generally 
accepted? If Penrose is right, this has astounding implications for the 
future of AI.
