The father of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely acknowledged to be the British mathematician, computer scientist and wartime code breaker Alan Turing. He is sometimes referred to as the ‘Father of Computer Science’.
Turing articulated his vision for AI research in a 1950 paper entitled ‘Computing Machinery and Intelligence’, which proposed an experiment – now known as the Turing Test – that could be used to differentiate between a human and machine. The basic idea was that a computer program or machine should pass for a human if it succeeded in fooling an interrogator into thinking it was a person rather than another type of computer or programme.
Turing’s work set the foundations for many modern applications of AI today, from voice recognition systems to self-driving cars.
