An arXiv announcement for the book Why machines will never rule the world presents a stark thesis: artificial general intelligence is mathematically impossible. The authors argue that the human beings and processes which exhibit intelligence are too complex to be captured by any formal mathematical framework.
The abstract is brief and does not lay out the full proof, but it frames the book as a systematic argument against the feasibility of AGI. The claim rests on the idea that intelligence is not a computable function but an emergent property of deeply intricate biological and social systems.
Because the source is only an abstract, the specific mathematical reasoning remains out of view. Still, the announcement makes clear that the authors intend a definitive challenge to mainstream AI ambitions, grounded in the irreducibility of human complexity.
