Alan Turing: The Genius Behind Cryptanalysis & Artificial Intelligence

Explore the remarkable life of Alan Turing, born June 23, 1912, known for his brilliance in math and science, his pivotal role in breaking German ciphers in WWII at Bletchley Park. Despite his achievements, Turing faced persecution due to his homosexuality and tragically committed suicide in 1954. Learn about his groundbreaking work during WWII, including designing the bombe and deciphering Enigma-coded messages. Discover how Turing's Turing Test became the standard for assessing artificial intelligence, inspiring modern CAPTCHA tests. Unravel the legacy of this exceptional mind through his enduring impact on cryptanalysis and AI.

  1. Alan Turing &Cryptanalysis Mike Burgio & Louis Szgalsky

  2. Tour of Turing • Turing was born on June 23 1912 • Excelled in math and science • Worked on German ciphers in WWII • Bletchley Park • Convicted of homosexuality • Committed suicide in 1954 • Cyanide-laced apple

  3. Turing and WWII • Within weeks, designed bombe. • Broke Enigma-coded messages faster than 1932 bomba. • Using crib of plaintext, deciphered message by looking for contradictions in text. • >200 in use by end of war

  4. Turing Test • In the 1950’s, Turing developed the Turing Test at the University of Manchester. • Standard for artificial intelligence. • Interrogator believed machine was human • CAPTCHA test is based on Turing Test • Weird words on internet forms
