At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists began wondering whether mental work could be mechanized just like physical labor. This video explores how that question led Alan Turing to design the ...

In 1950, Alan Turing had an answer to that question—a computer was capable of “thought” if its output was so convincing that a person interacting with it couldn ’ t distinguish its answers from those ...

Mathematician Alan Turing invented an imaginary computer known as the Turing Machine; in an age before computers, he explored the concept of what it meant to be computable, creating the field of ...

The computing factory that defeated the cipherIn Alan Turing's world, at Bletchley Park, there wasn't time to crack a PIN with brute force, as ciphers changed too often and lives were at risk. By Dr ...

Alan Turing’s work continues to shape modern discussions around artificial intelligence, even decades after his groundbreaking theories reshaped computing. The quote often associated with him — “A ...
