Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Alan Turing
- We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.
- Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of who do the things no one can imagine.
- Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.
- We are not interested in the fact that the brain has the consistency of cold porridge.
- A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.
- The idea behind digital computers may be explained by saying that these machines are intended to carry out any operations which could be done by a human computer.
- Mathematical reasoning may be regarded rather schematically as the exercise of a combination of two facilities, which we may call intuition and ingenuity.
- I have had a dream indicating rather clearly that I am on the way to being hetero, though I don’t accept it with much enthusiasm either awake or in the dreams.
- I want a permanent relationship, and I might feel inclined to reject anything which of its nature could not be permanent.
- No, I’m not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I’m after is just a mediocre brain, something like the President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.
Alan Turing (1912–1954) was a pioneering British mathematician, logician, and computer scientist, known as the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. Born in London, Turing made groundbreaking contributions to the Allied efforts during World War II by decrypting German messages using the Enigma machine, a feat that significantly shortened the war.
Post-war, Turing turned his attention to the development of electronic computers, proposing the Universal Turing Machine concept, laying the foundation for modern computing. His seminal 1950 paper, “Computing Machinery and Intelligence,” introduced the Turing Test, a benchmark for machine intelligence. Tragically, Turing’s career was cut short by societal prejudice when his homosexuality led to criminal prosecution in 1952. He chose chemical castration over imprisonment.
Alan Turing died in 1954 at the age of 41, and his significant contributions to mathematics, cryptography, and computing were recognized posthumously. In 2009, the British government issued an official apology for the mistreatment he endured, acknowledging the profound impact of his work on the fields of computer science and artificial intelligence.
