Long before anyone had built a machine capable of holding a real conversation, Alan Turing was already asking what would happen the day one finally could. "If a machine can think, it might think more ...

The essential question, then, is not whether machines can imitate people. Turing asked a brilliant question for the early age ...

Alan Turing, the father of theoretical computer science, made a proposal that has put AI development on a flawed path for ...

A new book claims AI has been built on a flawed assumption dating back to Alan Turing's famous 1950 paper. Peter J. Denning argues that the most important parts of human intelligence, including common ...

Over 70 years ago, Alan Turing's "imitation game" revolutionized how we assess machine intelligence, shifting focus from ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A trove of Alan Turing's papers, including his own personal copy of his PhD dissertation, is going up for auction June 17 after ...

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 ...

Mathematician Alan Turing invented an imaginary computer known as the Turing Machine; in an age before computers, he explored the concept of what it meant to be computable, creating the field of ...

We want speaking machines because language is the best way to rapidly communicate ideas. Users want their lives made easier and Hollywood wants their 1960s predictions proven right. But computers ...

The rise of generative artificial intelligence has brought us into an era where machines can perform tasks once thought exclusive to human intellect. These systems, based on pretrained models and ...

Jeroen van den Bos and Davy Landman honor the computer scientist Alan Turing by recreating his calculating machine with LEGOs. Kasia Cieplak-Mayr von Baldegg is the former executive producer and ...
