Technology How Alan Turing found machine thinking in the human mind Turing's youthful bid for fame proved a great mathematician wrong – and accidentally created the modern computer By Jonathon Keats ...

Turing's ideas were carried further in the 1940s by mathematician and engineer John von Neumann, who conceived of a 'constructor' machine capable of assembling another according to a description.

Interactive machines engage in input and output during computation, which is closer to how computers are used in practice than in the Turing machine framework: examples include operating systems ...

A professor of computer science explains why the original limitations of Turing Machines still govern the age of advanced AI like ChatGPT.

The quest to find the cost of running a Turing machine began with Wolpert trying to use information theory -- the quantification, storage, and communication of information -- to formalize how ...

Desert plants naturally group in patterns that Alan Turing predicted in 1952. Polymath dynamo Turing is most famous for the Turing machine. Plants in Turing patterns are able to retain water and ...

First, Rice’s theorem applies to Turing machines, which we don’t use. A Turing machine has an infinite tape (or in modern-day terms, infinite memory); thus our computers are instead linear ...

In order to be a perfect and beautiful computing machine, it is not requisite to know what arithmetic is. What Darwin and Turing had both discovered, in their different ways, was the existence of ...
