Alan Mathison Turing was a brilliant British mathematician, logician, and computer scientist who made groundbreaking contributions to artificial intelligence and computer science.
He played a crucial role in cracking German codes during World War II, significantly aiding the Allied victory.
Turing developed the concept of the algorithm and designed early computers.
His work laid the foundation for modern computing and AI. Later in life, he explored mathematical biology.
Tragically, Turing was prosecuted for homosexuality in 1952 and died of cyanide poisoning in 1954, widely believed to be suicide.
In 2009, the British government officially apologized for his treatment.
