Scene 1

Mathematician, Computer Scientist, Logician, Cryptanalyst June 23, 1912 – June 7, 1954

Scene 2

A  brilliant British mathematician who took a leading role in breaking Nazi ciphers during WWII. His work is widely acknowledged as foundational research of computer science and artificial intelligence.

D isplayed  signs of high  intelligence at age 13

Enrolled  at King's  College then studied at Princeton to earn his Ph.D.

Deeply influenced by his classmate Christopher  Morcom

Scene 3

Worked  at Bletchley  Park,  where he made five major advances in the field of  cryptanalysis.

Turing led the design work for the Automatic Computing  Engine, creating a  groundbreaking blueprint for store-program computers.

Went  on to hold high-ranking positions in the mathematics department and later the computing laboratory at the University of Manchester

During World War II, Turing was a leading participant in wartime code-breaking, particularly that of German ciphers.

Scene 4

High IQ IQ score of 185, classifying with 0.1% of the world as exceptionally intelligent.   Visionary  Thinker A visionary thinker on artificial intelligence (AI), devising the Turing test, which is still used as a key gauge of how close machines have come to human intelligence Logical- Mathmatical  Intelligence High problem solving ability where any problem is solved before it is verbalized

Scene 5

Some of the awards and honorable mentions received by Alan Turing were:

Awarded  an Order of the British Empire for his work

Named by  Times Magazine as one of its  100  Most Important People of the 20th century

Received an  English Heritage  Blue Plaque for being eminent in his field

Life-size  statue of Turing  at  Bletchley Park

Bronze  statue  of Turing at  the University of Surrey

Named the second most significant alumnus in the history  of Princeton

Scene 6

Founding  father of artificial intelligence and of modern cognitive science.

Theory that a machine can learn from experience. The machine alters its own instructions because of experience

Apple  honored Turing’s  contributions to computers and  coding , making the apple  graphic represent the logo of their company

Turing dedicated  a significant portion of his life to the study of morphogenesis — the biological process by which organisms take their shape
