Empowered by artificial intelligence technologies, computers today can engage in convincing conversations with people, compose songs, paint paintings, play chess and go, and diagnose diseases, to name ...

Though as with so many independent inventors the origins of computing can be said to have been arrived at through the work of many people, Alan Turing is certainly one of the foundational figures in ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The Busy Beaver number, or BB(n), represents a mathematical problem that tries to calculate the longest possible run-time of a Turing machine ...

<B>Why did you think of this?</B> To some extent, I'm masochistic. Recently I've been working on a paper that involves TMs and I wrote a small simulator to check my solutions. I'm bored; therefore, we ...

Supercomputer poses as 13-year-old boy, becomes first ever to pass Turing Test. June 9, 2014&#151; -- Like many 13-year-old boys, Eugene Goostman claims to be a know-it-all. The one thing that ...

Although quantum computing is a nascent field, there are plenty of key moments that defined it over the last few decades as scientists strive to create machines that can solve impossible problems.

A working Turing Machine was submitted to Lego Ideas, consisting of approximately 2,900 parts and a bucketload of extreme cleverness.… The original machine was devised by mathematician Alan Turing in ...
