Turing machine

Alan Turing was misunderstood, to say the least. The man we now regard as the father of modern computer science was heavily criticized and discouraged during his life for various reasons. Nonetheless, Turing was an incomparable mathematician way ahead of his time, and he made major contributions to the math and technology fields, helping win World War II and creating a path for modern computers to become a reality. We recognize him today with great honor and respect, but throughout his lifetime,…

Biography (Early Life): Alan Turing was born in June 23, 1912. At his early age he was separated from his parents due to the fact that they had been working overseas. When he was 13, he was to sent to Sherborne School which was a boarding school located in Dorset. The education system that was run there meant that his scientific mind wasn’t given any kind of encouragement and so he studied advanced science ideas by himself which was far ahead of the schools’ timetable and what he should’ve been…

Searle states that syntax itself is neither constitutive of, nor sufficient for, semantic content. Therefore, the computers are not sufficient enough to have a mind because of their purely syntactical form of processing information. Searle argues that his claim is correct by using an argument that he wrote called, “The Chinese Room Argument”. Searle believes that being able to understand information requires having the ability to have consciousness, self awareness and intentionality.This…

Alan Mathison Turing was one of the greatest mathematicians to have served this world. Without Turing, World War 2 would've raged on for about two to four more years. With Alan Turing's invention of the "Colossus", he was able to break the German code of Enigma. The "Colossus" deciphered the message that came from the German machine the Enigma. With the "Colossus", he saved up to ten to twenty-one million lives. He's a hero of World War 2 and a hero to countless people who could've been a…

Artificial Intelligence in Computers. Artificial intelligence (AL) can be described as a process that the computer can exhibit decision-making process. It is a field in computer science that is of a great interest and countless experiments are conducted all over the world by scholars. In our daily work we use some components of artificial intelligence which is not so fascinating for all of us now, but few decades ago it was a beyond imagination experiment. At today’s concept, computers can think…

was Britain’s main code breaking centre. Several German codes from the Enigma and Lorenz machines were decoded here. Many historians, after a lot of research, have come to the conclusion that the intelligence produced by the workers at Bletchley Park shortened World War Two by 2– 4 years! In addition, without these codes having been figured out, the outcome of the war could have been different. Alan Turing was one of Bletchley Park’s engineers, and is commonly thought of as the Father of…

they joined forces and created the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS). Once the government started working on cracking Enigma they gathered the best minds they could find, and one of them was Alan Turing. Alan Mathison Turing was born on June 23 1912 to Julius Mathison and Ethel Sara Turing. He had one older brother named John. At 13 years of age he was sent to Sherborne School, a large boarding school in Dorset. The school’s education system gave his free-range scientific mind little…

science which simulates the intelligent behavior in computers”. This means that an artificially intelligent machine behaves like a human being. According to Britannica, Alan Turing, a British mathematician started working on Artificial Intelligence in 1933. He was the one who coined the term Artificial Intelligence. He considered these machines to have limitless memory and a scanner. These machines use a scanner to read all the information in their…

just after World War I. Though Germany believed their machine was "unbreakable", the efforts to find a flaw in their system were ultimately successful. With the state-of-the-art technology and ingenuity of the inventors, the enigma had the potential to give Germany extreme advantages during World War II, but simple mistakes cost the country their machine's success as well as their success in the war. The enigma was a rotor-based cipher machine that allowed the German military to send encrypted…

Though not having met Jacque Fresco in person, he has had a huge impact in my life. For most of my life, I wanted to be a doctor due to the monetary and social benefits. This dream of mine was from the tender age of two. At that point in time, I was fascinated by my pediatricians. This continued till around the late 8th grade. It was during the 8th grade where I developed a fascination with physics and wanted to be a physicist. However, when I moved to the United States in the summer of 2014, I…
