More quotes by Alan Turing
We may hope that machines will eventually compete with men in all purely intellectual fields.
Alan Turing
We are not interested in the fact that the brain has the consistency of cold porridge.
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
If a machine is expected to be infallible, it cannot also be intelligent.
Alan Turing
We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.
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
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
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
When we want to sink a convoy, we send out an observation plane first... Of course, to observe is not its real duty, we already know exactly where the convoy is. Its real duty is to be observed...Then, when we come round and sink them, the Germans will not find it suspicious.
Alan Turing
No, I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain.
Alan Turing
A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.
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
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
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
Codes are a puzzle. A game, just like any other game.
Alan Turing
The original question, 'Can machines think?' I believe to be too meaningless to deserve discussion.
Alan Turing
My little computer said such a funny thing this morning.
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
Unless in communicating with it one says exactly what one means, trouble is bound to result.
