    After viewing and studying Morten Tyldum's loosely based biopic of Alan Turing in "The Imitation Game", I have concluded that patriarchy was abundant during World War Two and it was most obvious throughout Joan Clarke's life. While analysing different critics opinions and views on Joan Clarke's role in the film, I found many supporting ideas and discovered that there was a lot of sexism during the time of the Enigma code. Through broad analysis I found that the chosen critic's opinions were supportive

    exactly the point he is attempting to refute, namely that computers are – at least theoretically – capable of being programmed to such an extent that they have reached a functional level of complexity such that it can be deemed as having a “human mind” (Turing 2004; Anon). To illustrate this point further point, consider The Deckard Question posed by the sci-fi noir, Blade Runner (1982). Deckard is an “intelligent” bounty hunter who must distinguish between humans and non-humans although both are indistinguishable

    Alan Mathison Turing was an English mathematician and computer scientist, famous for cracking the code the Nazi machine “Enigma” had used. This code was considered by many to have been undecipherable. Turing was born in Maida Vale, London on 23 June 1912. His father was part of a family of merchants from Scotland, and his mother was the daughter of an engineer.At a young age, he displayed signs of particularly high intelligence. Turing was one of the people who worked on the first computers. He was

    during WWII that recruits mathematics alumnus Alan Turing to break Nazi code… cryptanalysts thought the code was unbreakable. Alan’s team analyzes Enigma messages, and Turing builds a machine to decipher them. His team succeeds and become heroes, but in the year 1952 Alan encounters disgrace when the authorities find out he is homosexual, and they send him to prison. The reason I want to research this paper is because I want find out who Alan Turing really was, and I want to find out if there were

    Alan Turing & The A.I. Alan Turing cracked the enigma code on July 9th, 1941 and laid the infrastructure for artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has come a long way since the first robot was perfected. In 1950, Alan Turing published, Computer Machinery and Intelligence. This book introduced the birth of artificial intelligence as we know it today. Millions of robots with advanced technology and uses are being created every day since the emergence of this first robot occurred in 1969

    decisions based on an input from an end user. For example Apples ‘Siri’ service turns voice commands in visual and audio responses. Alan Turing put this argument forward in his 1950 paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence”. His opening pages of the paper begin with the words; "I propose to consider the question, 'Can machines think?” (Alan Turing 1950). My main argument to this is that a computer does not have the ability to think, primarily because it was created rather than ‘born and

    together to form an intricate net, known as a neuronet, in order to form thought patterns. Testing Intelligence (Turing test) Alan Turing, in a 1951 paper, proposed a test called "The Imitation Game" that might finally settle the issue of machine intelligence. The first version of the game he explained involved no computer intelligence whatsoever. The Turing test is a proposed test of a computer's ability to think, requiring that the covert substitution of the computer for one of the participants

    played an integral part in why people tended to be afraid of technological advances. Coincidentally, that was also the time when actual artificial intelligence was born. A British mathematician named, Alan Turing, came up with the idea that machines could think like humans. He created the Turing test, which

    It is obvious that the Turing test can be applied to computers from the arguments that he gave in response to the objections given in Computing Machinery and Intelligence. I will show that slight changes to these arguments can still allow passing, and will specifically demonstrate that these modified arguments support passing for cats and dogs. Turing’s idea of asking questions aimed to reveal mindedness, can be modified for pets; as mindedness is confirmed if and only if the interrogator is fooled
