Jobst Landgrebe, co-author of Why Machines Will Never Rule The World: Artificial Intelligence Without Fear, argues that AI is fundamentally limited in achieving human-like intelligence or consciousness due to the complexities of the human brain which are beyond mathematical modeling.

Contrary to my view, Jobst has a very low opinion of what machines will be able to achieve in the coming years and decades.

He’s also a devout Christian, which makes our clash of perspectives funnier.
