Vice reports that scientists have created the first known “chemical Turing machine,” meaning a liquid that can do the calculations that define a classic computer science standard. Juan Pérez-Mercader ...

For something that has been around since the 1930s and is so foundational to computer science, you’d think that the Turing machine, an abstraction for mechanical computation, would be easily ...

Turing machines were first proposed by British mathematician Alan Turing in 1936, and are a theoretical mathematical model of what it means for a system to "be a computer." In a paper published in the ...

#5 I don't believe Part 2 is true- my understanding of self-applicability is that it also applies to human beings (which, for the sake of this argument, could be considered to be extremely ...

What is the "Turing Test?" The Turing Test is a concept introduced by British mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing in his seminal 1950 paper, "Computing Machinery and Intelligence." The ...

In a paper published Nov. 10 in Intelligent Computing, Philip Nicholas Johnson-Laird of Princeton University and Marco Ragni of Chemnitz University of Technology propose a novel alternative to the ...

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

The Turing Test, a concept introduced by Alan Turing in 1950, has been a foundation concept for evaluating a machine's ability to exhibit human-like intelligence. But as we edge closer to the ...

Two people can watch the exact same machine respond to a question and reach completely different conclusions about what just ...
