quia homo numquam discit (because man never learns)

I like a lot Latin sentences because they sound like ancient wisdom that will last forever. Latin sounds cool.
Being a Machine Learning researcher I thought one Latin-like-maxim for my beloved science. If you like this joke, you can put this sentence on the stone door of your laboratory.
The idea is a bit romantic and dramatic: we must teach machines because humanity is not able to learn from its mistakes.
quia homo numquam discit

My maxim translates in:

because man never learns


I asked for a Latin translation because it sounds like an ancient wisdom, I thank the user Pacifica in this Latin forum for his help, I hope the translation is right, it sounds very nice.

Later, I found out that it is a reworking of a George Bernard Shaw quote "We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience"

You know, I'm a ML researcher so I'm a bit biased
