Somewhere at the edge of mathematics lurks a number so large that it breaks the very foundations of our understanding - and ...

With regard to my previous blog on a One-bit processor and a mega-cool Turing machine, I’ve been bouncing around the Internet discovering all sorts of cool things… But before we hurl ourselves ...

A mathematical model of computation. Named after English scientist Alan Turing, a Turing machine is a finite state machine that reads a tape divided into cells. The Turing machine examines the symbol ...

When he invented Turing machines in 1936, Alan Turing also invented modern computing. In 1928, the German mathematicians David Hilbert and Wilhelm Ackermann proposed a question called the ...

Artificial intelligence has been around for longer than most of us realize. In 1950, Alan Turing proposed the famous “Turing test” in a paper, opening with the sentence, “I propose to consider the ...

June 7, 2024 was the 70th anniversary of the death of Alan Turing, the father of modern computer science, whose wisdom still resonates in fields ranging from mathematics to biology. But I want to ...

A supercomputer called Eugene has become the first machine to pass the famous Turing test after fooling a panel of judges into thinking it was a teenage boy. The computer reached the artificial ...

Turing machines are widely believed to be universal, in the sense that any computation done by any system can also be done by a Turing machine. In a new article, researchers present their work ...

Queen Elizabeth II granted a rare "mercy pardon" Monday to Alan Turing, the computing and mathematics pioneer whose chemical castration for being gay drove him to suicide almost 60 years ago. Turing ...
