Alan Turing discussed morphogenesis (how an organism turns from a collection of uniform cells into a distinct shape with differentiated parts) as the interaction of two different chemical interactions far from equilibrium. 40 years later he was proved correct. I wrote code to simulate this pattern ...
Not being able to tell a computer’s output from a real person is the criterion by which computers could be deemed intelligent, according to the famed test English mathematician Alan Turing proposed more than 50 years ago. In Turing’s text-based scheme (when graphics were still far off in...
Back in October 1950, British techno-visionary Alan Turing published an article called "Computing Machinery and Intelligence," in the journal MIND that raised what at the time must have seemed to many like a science-fiction fantasy. "May not machines carry out something which ought to be ...
Actually, where any robot engineer starts, by breaking that one big problem into smaller and more manageable chunks. Essentially, there are three problems we need to solve: how to make our robot 1) sense things (detect objects in the world), 2) think about those things (in a more less ...
(Since computers first appeared, most have worked by simple, serial processing, inspired by a basic theoretical design called a Turing machine, originally conceived by Alan Turing.)A typical modern supercomputer works much more quickly by splitting problems into pieces and working on many pieces at...
Alan Turing, of Bletchley Park fame, seems to have envisaged all the current developments in the field, though during his lifetime the technology wasn’t available to implement these ideas. The first approach to hit the big time is now known as ‘Good Old-Fashioned AI (GOFAI)’. This ...

Alphard’s constructs allow a programmer to isolate an abstraction, specifying its behavior publicly while localizing knowledge about its implementation. It originated from studies at both Carnegie-Mellon University and the Information Sciences Institute.”—Language Finger, Maureen and Mike Mansfield ...
(known as "edge cases"), it's likely to deliver bad results. You can't really blame the algorithm itself; it's the programmers who designed it who are at fault. This explains why algorithms often make the news these days—for all the wrong reasons. How about the timeGoogle's ...
