Alan Turing, born on June 23, 1912, is widely recognized as a pioneering figure in computer science and artificial intelligence. His groundbreaking work laid the foundation for modern computing and played a crucial role in helping the Allies win World War II. Turing completed his Ph.D. at Princeton in 1938 and was known for his contributions as a mathematician, logician, and cryptanalyst. Despite facing persecution as an openly gay man, his legacy continues to inspire advancements in AI and data science. The prestigious ACM Turing Award is named in his honor, celebrating his enduring impact on the field. Turing is also regarded as the father of theoretical computer science, famously quoted, 'We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.' Additionally, he was an excellent runner, with his best marathon time close to that of Olympic athletes of his day.
Today is the 112th birthday of Alan Turing, who pioneered modern computing and artificial intelligence. To celebrate his legacy and achievements, we're presenting you with the famous Turing Test right here! Watch the video below and guess: who is driving the car, a person or a… https://t.co/NXMHS3Evkp

The cult of Alan Turing is strange because software or hardware engineers never use any of his "contributions" in their work. I know I don't. The programmable computer was invented by Babbage and Lovelace. The Turing machine and the halting problem are just academic curiosities. https://t.co/rdzEauFhbR
