  1. Alan Turing Einstein of computer science Matjaž Gams Institut “Jožef Stefan”

  2. 100-anniversary • ACM Turing Centenary Celebration to Be Webcast Live! 29.5.2012 • Alan Turing Centenary Conference, 22.-25.6.2012 • Več 10 konferenc v večini držav sveta • Več novih knjig • - Specialna številka revije Informatica • 100 YEARS OF ALAN TURING AND 20 YEARS OF SLAIS • Conference on 100 YEARS OF ALAN TURING AND 20 YEARS OF SLAIS, 11 October 2012, Ljubljana, SloveniaTo be held at the 15th InternationalMulticonferenceInformation Society IS-2012

  3. Important years 1912 - birth 1936 – Turing machine 1932-42 - Enigma 1950 – birth of AI, Turing test 1954 - death 2007 - Donald Michie died 2009 – official rehabilitation 2012 - centenary

  4. 1936 – Turing machine, TM Abstract computing machine Can compute anything computable Formalizes the concept of algorithm Universal Turing machine can simulate all other TMs – universal TM, UTM Church-Turing thesis: “everything algorithmically computable is computable by a Turing machine." Gödel’s 1st theorem, decidability Independent of time, HW Universal concept, like Einstein’s relativity

  5. „Strongerthan“ Turinghypercomputer TM with oracle Quantum computer? Accelerating TS Multiple TM (worlds)

  6. Multiple worlds • Schrëding equation, Heisenberg’s principle, collapse • On the other • hand, the collapse is • considered as redundant in • the Bohm interpretation • the Many-Worlds Interpretation • Multiverse • Occam’s razor? • 100x black matter needed • String theory

  7. 1932-42 - Enigma • German coding machine • Turing led the decoding of Enigma • Designed „bombe“ • Donald Michie in the team • Web source: • One of the most important non-military discoveries in WW2 • Saved Nx1000 lives • Shortened WW2 by M months

  8. 1950 – birth of AI, Turing test Turing, Alan (October 1950), "Computing Machinery and Intelligence", Mind. What can computers do? Can they think, love …? „Strong AI“ (GOFAI) computer can do anything a human can Turing: Intelligent behaviour presumably consists in a departure from the completely disciplined behaviour involved in computation. Machine intelligence - 1956 McCarthy AI

  9. 1950 – birth of AI, Turing test Turing, Alan (October 1950), "Computing Machinery and Intelligence", Mind. Turing test – TT too hard or too simple? "Fair" Turing test Total TT – TTT, visual TT Total total TT – TTTT Loebner test 1991- CAPTCHA, Jeopardy 2011 Searl’s Chinese room

  10. Kurtzweil Kurtzweil HUMAN/COMPUTER INTELLIGENCE People + Computers = Information society Flynn +30 Processing power Drake’s equation Computers Human Time

  11. 1954 – death2009 – official rehabilitation on behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely thanks to Alan's work I am very proud to say: we're sorry, you deserved so much better

  12. 2007 - Donald Michie With Turing on the Enigma project, first director of any AI department in the world in 1965, was director at the Turing institute where several Slovenian researchers studied for a while, honorary member of JSI, SAZU … Ivan Bratko, father of Slovenian AI, Donald was 1 month per year in Ivan’s room at JSI. Now at JSI Turing’s room, Donald Michie’s room Sobotna priloga Dela: Let this be in memory of Donald Michieas Turing’s contemporary and our dear colleague, and the extreme genius Alan Turing that marked the lives of every human in the world as hardly anybody.

  13. Fame Lady Gaga 400 millions Mozart, Einstein 40 millions / 9920 Alan Turing 4 millions / 1677 Most people on streets not familiar (modest improvement since centenary events) Invented modern computing and artificial intelligence. „Einstein“ of computer science 1966- ACM Turing award Equivalent to Nobel prize Street in Manchester (City)

  14. The meaning In most of the devices around you there are one to tens of TMs. One of the people that best influenced the progress of human civilization. Like Einstein.
