Part 5/11:
The Nature of Computation and Non-Computability
One of the most critical assertions made is that much of mathematics extends beyond what is computable. The speaker categorically states that while current AI operates within computable realms, the processes that define consciousness and its interplay with the physical world may necessitate understanding non-computable concepts.
The exploration dives into a philosophical territory where the boundaries of physics intersect with consciousness. The speaker suggests that the processes underlying conscious thought may well involve mechanisms that current computational frameworks cannot capture, positing that future advancements might be aligned with yet-unknown aspects of physics that allow for non-computable processes.
