Turing’s great insight was to provide a concrete answer to the computation question in the form of an abstract machine, later named the Turing machine by his doctoral adviser, Alonzo Church. It’s ...

Turing machines perform computations by reading and writing 0s and 1s on an infinite tape divided into square cells, using a “head” that operates on one cell at a time. Every machine has a unique set ...

The story of Alan Turing, father of modern computing. His journey as a young man and how he achieved what was thought at the time impossible, the decryption of the most complex German enigma machine.

Mathematicians and computer scientists attempt to determine whether a problem is solvable by trying them out on an imaginary machine. The modern notion of an algorithm, known as a Turing machine ...

Is the Turing test still relevant in today's AI landscape? The advent of large language models has challenged its importance.

Investopedia / Joules Garcia The Turing Test is a deceptively simple method of determining whether a machine can demonstrate human intelligence: If a machine can engage in a conversation with a ...

In fact, GPT-4.5 outperformed some of the actual human participants, who were accused of being AI in the blind test. Still, the fact that the AI did such a good impression of a human being that it ...

Trending today: after receiving an email that's clearly bot-written, Aaron wonders if AI has advanced beyond the Turing Test ...

Turing laid out a thought experiment that described a device now known as the Turing “machine.” The hypothetical device could read input from an infinitely long tape and solve problems ...

Lost scientific papers of World War II codebreaker Alan Turing, rescued from a loft and then nearly destroyed, are set to go ...
