Long ReadThe British mathematician, whose fate was both exceptional and tragic, is considered a founding figure for the idea of artificial intelligence. His story, long overlooked, continues to be ...

The father of computer science himself: Alan Turing. Today we’re going to take a step back from programming and discuss the person who formulated many of the theoretical concepts that underlie modern ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

One hundred and fifty years of mathematics will be proved wrong if a new computer program stops running. Thankfully, it’s unlikely to happen, but the code behind it is testing the limits of the ...
