A professor of computer science explains why the original limitations of Turing Machines still govern the age of advanced AI like ChatGPT.

Computer scientist wins Turing Award for seminal work on randomness Avi Wigderson helped prove that randomness is not required for efficient computation.

Princeton graduate alumnus Avi Wigderson has won the 2023 A.M. Turing Award from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), recognizing his profound contributions to the mathematical underpinnings ...

But their research has directly sought to answer Turing's 1947 call for a machine that “can learn from experience” — which Sutton describes as “arguably the essential idea of reinforcement ...

In 1936, English mathematician Alan Turing introduced the idea of a computer that could rewrite its own instructions, making it endlessly programmable.

Not Every Problem Can Be Solved Many problems are solvable using a Turing machine and therefore can be solved on a computer, while many others are not. For example, the domino problem, a variation of ...

After his time at King’s College, he invented the Turing machine, which was an abstract computer capable of implementing computing algorithms based on certain mathematical rules. He then moved to ...

The aesthetic Turing Test is not just about whether a machine can fool us; it’s a challenge that asks us to decide what we ...

The Association for Computing Machinery will award its 2002 A.M. Turing Award to Leonard L. Adleman, Ronald L. Rivest, and Adi Shamir for their contributions to public-key cryptography. In 1977 ...
