On Saturday, British mathematician Alan Turing would have turned 100 years old. It is barely fathomable to think that none of the computing power surrounding us today was around when he was born. But ...

Ever since, the so-called Turing Test embodied in that paper, Computing Machinery And Intelligence, has served as a yardstick ...

On June 23, we commemorate the birth of Alan Mathison Turing, a visionary whose profound contributions laid the very groundwork for modern computing and artificial intelligence. Often hailed as the ...

2012 is uitgeroepen tot het Turing-jaar. Op 23 juni is het precies honderd jaar geleden dat Alan Turing werd geboren. Deze Britse wiskundige en computerwetenschapper is om drie redenen beroemd. Ten ...

Alan Turing, the Second World War code-breaker and pioneer of computer science with a “fearless approach to daunting problems”, will appear on the Bank of England’s next £50 note. Turing was selected ...

Although quantum computing is a nascent field, there are plenty of key moments that defined it over the last few decades as scientists strive to create machines that can solve impossible problems.

64 years after the father of computer science, Alan Turing, proposed a method of testing whether a machine has obtained human-level intelligence, a 13-year-old AI boy called Eugene Goostman has ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine that someone gives you a list of five numbers: 1, 6, 21, 107, and—wait for it—47,176,870. Can you guess what comes next? If ...

The milestone makes machine-learning trailblazer Yoshua Bengio the most cited researcher on Google Scholar. Computer ...
