Will curiosity kill Schrodinger's cat?

Article Abstract:

It is wrong to claim that artificial neural networks will begin to develop characteristics that resemble human understanding if they are trained for long enough, according to Roger Penrose, Rouse Ball professor of mathematics at Oxford University, England. He believes that mathematics dominates quantum physics at the expense of common sense, and feels that quantum physics will require a significant change. He believes that there is a vital element missing from quantum theory and that this element is not yet known.
