Who is Alan Turing Alan Turing (1912 - 1954) was a British mathematician‚ logician‚ and cryptographer considered by many to be the father of computer science. His contributions to breaking the German Nazi Enigma code during WWII were considered pivotal to the Allied war effort. Alan Turing formulated multiple ideas that now lie at the foundations of computer science and computability theory‚ such as the idea of a Turing machine or the Church-Turing thesis.

Do you imagine yourself taking advices from the one who saved us from extinction? Alan Turing was a great mathematician and he is the father of Computer Science and Digital Electronics. He also was the first scientist that thought that machines could actually learn‚ but one of the most important things about him is the fact that he helped defeating the Nazis by cracking the “Enigma code”. So‚ there are several reasons why anybody would be lucky to meet him: to know about history‚ how he

Abstract: - An unsung hero of World War II was born on June 23‚ 1912 in London‚ Alan Mathison Turing was an innovative thinker‚ computer scientist and mathematician. He was not recognized for his contributions to our society until after his death and many pardons later. He was especially prominent in the development of theoretical computer science. He is widely known for his 1936 paper which introduced the “Turing Machine.” His work also made substantial contributions in the area of artificial

Alan Turing “Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine‚ do the things no one can imagine.” – Alan Turing What story lies behind this quote? For me‚ it is not just a simple life story. It is the prideful story of the man who saved the world! So‚ now I’m going to talk about Alan Turing- founder of computer science‚ philosopher‚ mathematician‚ code breaker‚ and the culpable‚ guilty person of his time! Let’s begin! Alan Mathison Turing was born in England. He had signs of high intelligence

The role of Alan Turing in the history of computing Alan Mathison Turing was born on 23 June 1912‚ Paddington‚ London. He was a true pioneer in computer science and if it were not for this man‚ no one would probably be typing an essay based on him on a modern computer. He is renowned for his passion of mathematics and the invention of the Turing machine/test‚ breaking the German enigma code during World War One‚ and for making the first automated computing machine (the ACE). At an early age

Alan Turing’s paper “Computing machinery and intelligence” in 1950 is one of the foundational documents from the early days of Cognitive Science. After its publication‚ critics proposing objections have never stopped. One of the most reasonable objections similar to so called “Lady Lovelace’s Objection” argues that a machine can never do anything really new‚ which is to say no machine has the capacity for original thought. In this way‚ it follows that no computer can have human intelligence. From

Introduction “The Turing Test” is most accurately used to refer to a pitch made by Turing (1950) as an approach of dealing with the question whether machines can think. According to Turing‚ the question whether machines can think is itself “too meaningless” to deserve any debate (442). In other words‚ the Turing Test is a method for determining whether or not a computer is capable of thinking like a human. The test is named after Alan Turing‚ an English mathematician who pioneered artificial intelligence
