Alan Turing and the Limits of Computation
Posted by Jose Ruben Rodriguez Fuentes in categories: biological, mathematics, robotics/AI
Note: June 23 is Alan Turing’s birth anniversary.
Alan Turing wore many scientific hats in his lifetime: a code-breaker in World War II, a prophetic figure of artificial intelligence (AI), a pioneer of theoretical biology, and a founding figure of theoretical computer science. While the former of his roles continue to catch the fancy of popular culture, his fundamental contribution to the development of computing as a mathematical discipline is possibly where his significant scientific impact persists to date.
