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 ...

Since the field of AI got underway in the 1950s researchers have realised there is a gulf between what humans and what computers find difficult, says Dr Peter Norvig, director of research at Google ...

In computer science and blockchain technology, the term “Turing completeness” describes a system’s ability to carry out any computation that a Turing machine is capable of. A Turing machine is a ...

Turing machines are widely believed to be universal, in the sense that any computation done by any system can also be done by a Turing machine. In a new article, researchers present their work ...

There is nothing remarkable about mathematicians' achievements going unrecognised in a wider world changed by their discoveries. The hidden history of Alan Turing is just a particularly bizarre ...

Supercomputer poses as 13-year-old boy, becomes first ever to pass Turing Test. June 9, 2014— -- Like many 13-year-old boys, Eugene Goostman claims to be a know-it-all. The one thing that ...

One hundred and fifty years of mathematics will be proved wrong if a new computer program stops running. Thankfully, it’s unlikely to happen, but the code behind it is testing the limits of the ...
