Alan Turing, a British mathematician and logician, is called the father of computer and artificial intelligence. Turing entered King's College of Cambridge University on 193 1. After graduation, I went to Princeton University to study for my doctorate. After the outbreak of World War II, he returned to Cambridge. Later, he helped the military to crack the famous German cryptographic system Enigma and helped the Allies win the victory of World War II. Turing has made a lot of contributions to the development of artificial intelligence, and put forward a test method to judge whether the machine is intelligent, that is, Turing test. Up to now, there has been a test match every year. In addition, the famous Turing machine model put forward by Turing laid the foundation for the logical working mode of modern computers.

1965438+Born in London, England on June 23rd, 2002.

193 1 year-1934, studied at King's College, Cambridge University, England.

1932-1935, mainly studying quantum mechanics, probability theory and logic.

1935, Turing, who was only 23 years old, was elected as an academician of King's College of Cambridge University.

From 65438 to 0936, he mainly studied the computability theory and put forward the idea of "Turing machine".

1936-1938, mainly doing doctoral research at Princeton University, involving logic, algebra and number theory.

1938- 1939, returned to Cambridge to do research work, and was invited to join the British government to decipher the German code of World War II.

1940-1942, as one of the main participants and contributors, has made outstanding achievements in deciphering the communication codes of Nazi Germany, successfully deciphering the codes of German U-boats, and made great contributions to reversing the situation of the allied Atlantic battlefield in World War II.

1943-1945, as the general consultant of British and American cryptography department.

65438-0945, invited to engage in computer theory research in the British National Physics Laboratory.

1946, at this time, Turing's thoughts and achievements in the original theory of computer and programming established his position as a theoretical pioneer. Because of Turing's outstanding contribution, he was awarded the OBE Knight Order by the British royal family.

1947-1948, mainly engaged in the research of computer program theory, and made groundbreaking theoretical research in the fields of neural network and artificial intelligence.

65438-0948, invited to join the University of Manchester in the UK to do research work, and served as the deputy director of the Computing Laboratory of the University of Manchester.

1949, he became the first scientist in the world who really used computers for mathematical research.

1950 published the paper "Computing Machine and Intelligence", which provided a pioneering idea for the later artificial intelligence science. Put forward the famous "Turing test" theory.

195 1 year, engaged in biological nonlinear theory research. Turing, who was only 39 years old, was elected as a member of the Royal Society.

1952, in the era of conservatism and ignorance and the cold war, Turing, a homosexual, was arrested and imprisoned after the police learned that Turing had close ties with same-sex friends. During the trial, Turing clearly told people that he didn't think he had done anything wrong. In that backward era, in order to avoid being sentenced to prison, Turing was forced to choose the so-called "treatment" of injecting estrogen for one year before returning to research work.

From 1953 to 1954, he continued his research in biology and physics. Turing, who was forced to bear the "treatment" of homosexuality, was greatly hurt physically and mentally because he loved sports.

1On June 7th, 954, Turing was found dead in his bed at home. The cause of death was cyanide poisoning, and the police concluded that it was suicide. The premature death of a generation of heroes is a great regret in the history of human science.
