Recently, a friend told me over coffee about some disheartening feedback she had received. “They said it was good,” she said, “but that it read like it was written by AI.” Knowing her, I understood ...

Computing power has come a long way since mathematician Alan Turing broke the Nazi’s Enigma machine code. Even so, the Father of AI saw what the possibilities were way back in 1951 when he gave a ...

For over seven decades, the Turing test was considered the gold standard for artificial intelligence: can a machine convince ...

Alan Turing's radical insight was that any mechanical thought process could be stripped down to a few symbolic operations on a strip of tape. This video unpacks how that elegant simplification became ...

In the 1980s, Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard created a new kind of encryption that would be impregnable. By Cade Metz Cade Metz has reported on quantum technologies since the 1990s. In the ...

Years before emails, internet banking, cloud servers and cryptocurrency wallets, two scientists devised a way to keep secrets perfectly safe and indecipherable to eavesdropping outsiders. Their 1984 ...
