Alan Turing, the British mathematician who laid the theoretical groundwork for modern computing and cracked coded messages from the Nazis, received a royal pardon on Tuesday. Turing was convicted ...

Alan Turing, the British mathematician who committed suicide almost 60 years ago, has been royally pardoned by Queen Elizabeth decades after his death. Turing helped create the devices that helped ...

Queen Elizabeth II granted a rare "mercy pardon" Monday to Alan Turing, the computing and mathematics pioneer whose chemical castration for being gay drove him to suicide almost 60 years ago. Turing ...

Alan Turing’s work laid the foundation for modern artificial intelligence, particularly through his concept of the Turing Test, which evaluates a machine’s ability to exhibit human-like behaviour.

The game involves a human guessing if a player is a computer or another human. The Turing Test is arguably one of the most well-known methods of evaluating how well artificial intelligence (AI) can ...

A recent perspective published Nov. 13 in Intelligent Computing, asserts that today's artificial intelligence systems have finally realized Alan Turing's vision from over 70 years ago: machines that ...

For as much as we know about the pioneering British computer scientist Alan Turing, we know relatively little about his death. Turing was found dead at his home in 1954, two years after he was outed ...

This year’s honor will go to Avi Wigderson, an Israeli-born mathematician and theoretical computer scientist who specializes in randomness. By Cade Metz Reporting from San Francisco Computers seem ...

A simple, decades-old mathematical model developed by Alan Turing can predict how subtle colour patterns will develop in a lizard’s scaly skin. Over seventy years ago, the computer scientist Alan ...

On the left, Turing’s original test involves a human interrogator (C) trying to identify a machine (A) that imitates a human assistant (B). On the right, the modern Turing-like test replaces the human ...
