Turing (Alan Turing)

Alan Turing was a British mathematician and computer scientist, known for his foundational work in artificial intelligence and computer science. During World War II, he played a crucial role in cracking the German Enigma code, which significantly aided the Allied forces. Turing proposed the concept of a "universal machine," which laid the groundwork for modern computers. He is also famous for the Turing Test, a measure of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior comparable to that of a human. Turing's contributions have had a lasting impact on technology and mathematics, making him a key figure in the history of computing.
