Abstract

We discuss the influence of Gödel and his results on the surfacing of the rigorous notion of computability afforded by Turing. We also address the debate about the limits of Artificial Intelligence spurned by Roger Penrose, on the basis of Gödel's theorems, and the views of Gödel himself. We conclude by touching upon the use of logic as a tool with which to approach the description of mind.
