More quotes by Alan Turing
Unless in communicating with it one says exactly what one means, trouble is bound to result.
Alan Turing
We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.
Alan Turing
A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.
Alan Turing
Instead of trying to produce a programme to simulate the adult mind, why not rather try to produce one which simulates the child's? If this were then subjected to an appropriate course of education one would obtain the adult brain.
Alan Turing
Do you know why people like violence? It is because it feels good. Humans find violence deeply satisfying. But remove the satisfaction, and the act becomes hollow.
Alan Turing
No, I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain.
Alan Turing
Codes are a puzzle. A game, just like any other game.
Alan Turing
These disturbing phenomena [Extra Sensory Perception] seem to deny all our scientific ideas. How we should like to discredit them! Unfortunately the statistical evidence, at least for telepathy, is overwhelming.
Alan Turing
Machines take me by surprise with great frequency.
Alan Turing
The Exclusion Principle is laid down purely for the benefit of the electrons themselves, who might be corrupted (and become dragons or demons) if allowed to associate too freely.
Alan Turing
One day ladies will take their computers for walks in the park and tell each other, My little computer said such a funny thing this morning.
Alan Turing
If a machine is expected to be infallible, it cannot also be intelligent.
Alan Turing
Instruction tables will have to be made up by mathematicians with computing experience and perhaps a certain puzzle-solving ability. There need be no real danger of it ever becoming a drudge, for any processes that are quite mechanical may be turned over to the machine itself.
Alan Turing
Mathematical reasoning may be regarded rather schematically as the exercise of a combination of two facilities, which we may call intuition and ingenuity.
Alan Turing
A man provided with paper, pencil, and rubber, and subject to strict discipline, is in effect a universal machine.
Alan Turing
Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.
Alan Turing
A very large part of space-time must be investigated, if reliable results are to be obtained.
Alan Turing
My little computer said such a funny thing this morning.
Alan Turing
Mathematical reasoning may be regarded.
Alan Turing
We are not interested in the fact that the brain has the consistency of cold porridge.
Alan Turing
