Alan Turing
Father of Artificial Intelligence
Alan Mathison Turing OBE FRS (/ˈtjʊərɪŋ/; 23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist. Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.

Turing quickly realized that the term “think”, in this context, was a bit ambiguous so he refined the focus and further elaborated: the test aimed to evaluate how well a computer could emulate or exhibit behaviour indistinguishable from that of a human user by having a human judge engage in conversation with both a human participant and a computer participant.

Fast forward today, Turing test was used to create what we call “CAPTCHA” is an acronym for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart” . It is now used as an extra layer of security on the web where you are asked and verify if you are a Human.
