His Turing machine was a thought-experiment computing device in which a program performs operations upon symbols printed on an infinite strip of tape, and can in theory calculate anything that any ...

The Turing Test Measures Something, But It’s Not “Intelligence” A computer program mimicked human conversation so well that it was mistaken for a real live human, but “machine intelligence ...

As Ian Bogost wrote last year on this website, the same concept drives Turing’s other great contribution to computer science—the universal computing machine.

The Imitation Game is a new film based on the life of legendary computer scientist Alan Turing, played here by Benedict Cumberbatch. Many are already familiar with the idea of a Turing machine, a ...

This is true for the challenge of proving that cascading stylesheets are Turing-complete, or that you don’t need all those fancy ISA bits of an ARM processors when you already got the LDM and ...

In 1950, famed London scientist Alan Turing, considered one of the fathers of artificial intelligence, published a paper that put forth that very question.

A computer program tricked 33 percent of people into thinking it was a 13-year-old boy — making it the first to pass the Turing Test.

But as they create programming languages for these machines, Dr. Svore and her colleagues are still drawing on the work of the latest Turing winners. “We are building on the same techniques ...
