Today, Turing's legacy lives on at Manchester, where more than 1,600 researchers are developing and applying AI to tackle global challenges and transform lives. His forward-thinking ideas continue to shape how we understand intelligence, technology and what it means to think.
ON THIS DAY IN 1950 โฌ๏ธ Alan Turing published Computing Machinery and Intelligence, introducing what became known as the Turing Test. By asking the simple but profound question, "Can machines think?", Turing helped lay the foundations for modern AI.
