Alan Turing’s 1950 imitation game laid the foundation for the Turing Test, a way to assess machine intelligence through human-like behaviour, now central to debates around modern AI chatbots.

In May 1936, Turing submitted a landmark paper to the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society establishing the logical limits of automated calculation. Published in 1937, his work introduced ...

Frontier AI models are finishing Alan Turing's World War II codebreaking work.

In the early 1950s, most people had never seen a computer. Those who had were unlikely to describe it as anything more than a complicated calculating machine. Computers were expensive, slow by modern ...
