About this video

Alan Mathison Turing, an English mathematician, computer scientist, and logician, significantly influenced theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. Born in London in 1912, Turing's academic journey began at King's College, Cambridge, where he made groundbreaking contributions to mathematical theory, including the concept of the Turing machine. During World War II, he played a pivotal role in breaking German codes at Bletchley Park, aiding Allied victories. Post-war, Turing continued his work, contributing to early computer designs and mathematical biology. Despite his achievements, he faced persecution for his homosexuality and tragically died in 1954. Decades later, he received posthumous recognition for his contributions, including an official apology from the British government and a royal pardon. Today, Turing's legacy endures through awards, statues, and his depiction on the £50 note, solidifying his status as a pioneering figure in computer science and a symbol of resilience against prejudice.
