More quotes by Alan Turing
Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.
Alan Turing
The idea behind digital computers may be explained by saying that these machines are intended to carry out any operations which could be done by a human computer.
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
We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.
Alan Turing
Mathematical reasoning may be regarded.
Alan Turing
Unless in communicating with it one says exactly what one means, trouble is bound to result.
Alan Turing
I'm afraid that the following syllogism may be used by some in the future. Turing believes machines think Turing lies with men Therefore machines do not think Yours in distress, Alan
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
We may hope that machines will eventually compete with men in all purely intellectual fields.
Alan Turing
Up to a point, it is better to just let the snags [bugs] be there than to spend such time in design that there are none.
Alan Turing
If a machine is expected to be infallible, it cannot also be intelligent.
Alan Turing
A man provided with paper, pencil, and rubber, and subject to strict discipline, is in effect a universal machine.
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
A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.
Alan Turing
Programming is a skill best acquired by practice and example rather than from books.
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
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
Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.
Alan Turing
In attempting to construct such (artificially intelligent) machines we should not be irreverently usurping His (God's) power of creating souls, any more than we are in the procreation of children,” Turing had advised. “Rather we are, in either case, instruments of His will providing mansions for the souls that He creates.
