This is Penrose's point. We can't even explain human consciousness, don't know how it arises; so how do we build it into a machine? He says that human understanding is not computational and involves more than we can map, more than mere brain networks, neuronal activity, etc. There's something going on that we can't pinpoint or even name, and it's an ultimate sine qua non to the whole matter.

Again, AI may be very useful in many applications. It will never be sentient or conscious and will never be able to do all that the human mind can do in any application.
