Alan Turing

1943 Foundations for neural networks laid. 1945 Isaac Asimov, a Columbia University alumni, coined the term Robotics. 1950 Alan Turing introduced Turing Test for evaluation of intelligence and published Computing Machinery and Intelligence. Claude Shannon published Detailed Analysis of Chess Playing as a search. 1956 John McCarthy coined the term Artificial Intelligence. Demonstration…

In the movie, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, by Steven Spielberg, there are two dominant groups of beings: flesh-and-blood humans, and nuts-and-bolts humans (also known as mechas, or mechanical people). In this dystopian future-world, humans produce and destroy mechas as they like because to some, a mecha is only a machine and cannot feel emotions or pain, even if they can show outward manifestations of emotions and pain. David is a mechanical child that is programmed to not have this…

Her work was discovered by a scientist, Alan Turing, in the 1940's, during the Second World War. (Biographics). One source says, "She, along with Babbage, essentially paved the way for Turing, who is considered today as the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence" (Biographics). During the 1970's, the US Department of Defense developed a…

During the last few years big companies have improved and developed the artificial intelligence, but is this a real benefit for humanity? This new technology was first created in 1940 by Alan Turing a British mathematician, but this hasn`t had a great importance among his fellows. It was not until 1950 where this new intelligence had greater importance. Artificial Intelligence is very beneficial to society since it improves our quality of life. Artificial intelligence has been helping and…

she ruled accepted her as she was and Hatshepsut is known as one of the best rulers of ancient Egypt. Though the previous sentences may give the impression that at least people used to accept the LGBT community that was not always the case. Take Alan Turing for example, on his website it 's stated that…

Machinery was evolving, fighting methods were changing, and technology could give insight to the enemy. Perhaps one of the most important forms of technology created was the Super Computer. In 1936, Alan Turing, a mathematician, created the Turing Machine. This was the first computer like creation, and quickly acquired the capability of decryption. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, this helped tremendously with cracking codes created by the Axis Powers. With this technology…

The topic of religion can be a sticky one. Religion for most people sets their base beliefs and affects at least some of the standards that they live their life by. Challenging these sacred values can be dangerous because it arguably stands against someone 's core virtues they live by and cater to. Although these waters a treacherous, it’s imperative to question anything and everything about a religious system. Why would we not ask questions about something that so many blindly follow? Personal…

19th century, a mathematician named Charles Babbage designed plans for a theoretical analytic engine. It was for making computations of complex mathematical problems. He never finished building this machine. It was nearly 100 years later, that Alan Turing would explain many of the fundamental essentials to coding and computing, and in the 1940's, the first computers were built, for military, government, and secret service purposes. These computers, were enormous and weighed as much as 30 tons.…

The first computer that functioned similar to the modern computer we have today, was created around 1936 by a German man named Konrad Zuse. However, the Turing machine first proposed by Alan Turing became the foundation for our current computers we use today. Early computers were mostly used to solve complex mathematical problems such as assist encrypted code messages and binary math. These computers were enormous machines weighing several tons and essentially immovable. The modern computers we…

Introduction: In today’s world, the majority of people have a work computer, home computer, and/or a lap top, because computers have become affordable for the average person. If you look at the history of computers, it has taken us over a century to get to this point. Computers were first used primarily for businesses and government, because they were too expensive and large for personal use by the average person. According to Wikipedia (2016), “a computer is a device that can be instructed to…
