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 ...

Turing said this during a BBC radio broadcast titled "Can Digital Computers Think?", aired on the fifteenth of May, 1951, as part of a series on early computing machines. He went on, in the same ...

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 ...

Maybe this isn't an AI thread after all. Maybe this should be a discussion of the limits of Turing Machines. After all, we know that Turing Machines can't do these, we've worked through the logical ...

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 ...

Author's rendition of a basic Turing test set-up. Sitting in between two agents (one human and one machine), a person needs to interact with both agents and determine (correctly) which is a machine.
