Alan Turing, is a man regarded as one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th Century and widely considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence. The Science Museum in London is hosting an exhibition exploring the life and legacy of the great Alan Turing – wartime codebreaker, mathematician, and one of the twentieth century’s most influential computer scientists. Codebreaker – Alan Turing’s life and legacy will give a fully-rounded picture of the man known at the secret government intelligence site Bletchley Park as ‘the Prof’. It will explore Turing’s work on artificial intelligence and his morphogenesis work, cut short by his untimely death in 1954 following a conviction for ‘gross indecency’ and an enforced period of medical ‘treatment’ with female hormones.
