Alan Turing

20th century

Alan Turing (1912-1954) was a British mathematician, logician, and cryptanalyst, widely considered the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. He formalized the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, played a pivotal role in breaking German ciphers at Bletchley Park during WWII, and later explored the philosophical implications of machine intelligence. His life was tragically cut short following prosecution for homosexuality.
