A mathematical model of computation. Named after English scientist Alan Turing, a Turing machine is a finite state machine that reads a tape divided into cells. The Turing machine examines the symbol ...

As increasingly sophisticated models like ChatGPT test the boundaries of machine intelligence – the potential consequences for society are profound. As artificial intelligence, AI, continues its rapid ...

Pairs were set up and judges were tasked with identifying whether who they were talking to was human or a computer. Can machines be successful in 'being human' in real conversations? Alan Turing led a ...

While the invention of calculus by Newton and Leibniz in the 17th century set the stage for the so-called industrial revolution and unleashed unparalleled analytical power to fast-track human ...

Such is Turing's legacy: that of a nested chain of pretenses, each pointing not to reality, but to the caricature of another idea, device, individual, or concept. It's hard to overestimate Alan Turing ...

Microsoft, which calls its Excel spreadsheet a programming language, reports that an effort called LAMBDA to make it even more of a programming language is paying off, recently being deemed Turing ...

The British mathematician and pioneer of computing Alan Turing published a paper in 1936 which described a Universal Machine, a theoretical model of a computer processor that would later become known ...
