We are at a critical time and supporting science journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen scientific ...

Computational complexity and computability are central themes in theoretical computer science that address the fundamental question of what can be computed and at what cost. Computability theory ...

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 ...

This year a series of events around the world will celebrate the work of Alan Turing, the father of the modern computer, as the 100th anniversary of his birthday approaches on June 23. In a book ...

Alan Turing’s work laid the foundation for modern artificial intelligence, particularly through his concept of the Turing Test, which evaluates a machine’s ability to exhibit human-like behaviour.

The brilliant English mathematician Alan Turing cracked German codes in WWII, revolutionized computer science—and foresaw the moral questions of modern technology. One of Alan Turing's many ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. We research and write about business and management. Professor Richard Allmendinger, Professor of Applied Artificial Intelligence ...

Buried in the controversy this summer about Google's LaMDA language model, which an engineer claimed was sentient, is a hint about a big change that's come over artificial intelligence since Alan ...

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 ...
