Father of artificial intelligence (AI) - a gay science genius and a tragic life

Alan Turing - a major contributor to mathematics, computer science, artificial intelligence, philosophy, and the first foundational command line of the digital world today, has experienced a tragic life.

Alan Turing was born in 1912 in Maida Vale, London (England). As a child, Alan Turing attended Shertern Boarding School and was known for his smart mind and ability to solve problems. Despite this, his academic performance was unimpressive.

At 13, Turing met the love of his life Christopher Morcum - a boy more than a year old at school. This changed Turing's life for him. Most of the time spent together, Morcum and Turing devoted themselves to arguing about mathematical and geometric problems. Therefore, Turing's later academic achievements improved significantly.

In February 1930, Morcum died of tuberculosis. Turing believes that Morcum is still alive in another world because he believes he feels the presence of a close friend.

Alan Turing continued his studies and won a math scholarship at King University, Cambridge. In 1934, he graduated with a thesis proving the central limit theorem. This is a great contribution to statistics and probability. With that thesis, he became one of the first data scientists.

In 1936, Turing wrote an article entitled On Computable Numbers, which hypothesized the appearance of a machine built with the ability to calculate any problem using only the numbers 0, 1 and space. His writing is recognized as the foundation of computer science.

Later, he created single-task machines that functioned as computers and were able to solve programmed problems, called 'Turing Computers'.

During World War II, Turing worked as a computer decoder at the Bletchley Park Government Code and Cypher School, the secret headquarters of the United Kingdom. He made an important contribution to breaking the code, helping the war end two years early and saving millions of lives.

He also creates an electromechanical device called 'Bombe', which helps English cryptographers decode more than 4,000 German telegrams a day.

In 1941, his team deciphered messages from the Enigma machine to help Allied ships avoid attacks by German U-type submarines raging the Atlantic.

After World War II, he moved to London and released the "Automatic Computing Engine" in March 1946.

Vision on digital future

Although the term "Artificial Intelligence" was born in 1956, two years after Alan Turing's death, before that, he thought about whether machines could think.

To test the thinking ability of machines, he launched the famous Turing experiment. During the test, an interrogator will guess who is who by studying the answers of 1 male and 1 female for certain questions. In this test, the machine replaces the man.

According to Alan Turing, if a computer fooled people into believing it was human, the computer would be called intelligent.

In 1952, Turing was unfortunately accused of having a gay relationship with young man Arnold Murray. At that time, English law did not accept gay relationships and considered it a felony. Turing was convicted and forced to choose between chemical castration or imprisonment. Turing chose the first option and was injected with a synthetic estrogen hormone for hormone treatment for a year.

After that, he was fired and listed as a threat to national security because of the "stain". He went to work in Manchester and published "Morphological Basic Morphology".

On June 7, 1954, Alan Turing was found dead in bed. An autopsy revealed that cyanide appeared in his body. Many people think that he committed suicide or 'accidentally "inhaled the poison.

In September 2009, Queen Elizabeth II issued an amnesty for Alan Turing.

Bank of England Governor Mark Carney announced Turing would be the new face on the £ 50 bill by 2021.
