Fourrure tachetée des léopards, les rayures qui ornent les zèbres, alignement des pétales de fleurs... Y a-t-il un ordre dans ce caractère apparemment aléatoire de la #nature ?

La fascination du mathématicien Alan #Turing pour les taches du léopard l'a conduit à résoudre cette énigme.

"A collection of rare documents by World War Two codebreaker Alan Turing have been saved for the nation. Last year, a temporary export bar was placed on the wartime project writings to prevent them being taken abroad. A successful campaign was launched to keep the papers on home soil, which were described by the government as some of Turing's most 'inventive, secret, and overlooked work'."

an interesting connection:

it was #LordByron who proposed the ghost story writing contest that led to #MaryShelley writing "#Frankenstein", and he was the father of another #womensHistoryMonth notable: #AdaLovelace

her story is well known, but less well known is that she predicted #AI

she rejected it

her rejection was not without teeth, because the first non-#scienceFiction champion of AI, #AlanTuring, spent an inordinate amount of time refuting her critique

Dem britischen Mathematiker Alan Turing gelingt 1940 ein großer Coup: Endlich funktioniert die von ihm konzipierte „Bombe“, die den Nazis das Handwerk legen soll – und wird. Allerdings nicht durch ihre Sprengkraft im wörtlichen Sinne.

"In November 2023, a large cache of his wartime papers—nicknamed the “Bayley papers”—was auctioned in London for almost half a million U.S. dollars. The previously unknown cache contains many sheets in Turing’s own handwriting, telling of his top-secret “Delilah” engineering project from 1943 to 1945. Delilah was Turing’s portable voice-encryption system, named after the biblical deceiver of men."

Alan Turing, the man who made machines think.

The British mathematician, whose fate was both exceptional and tragic, is considered a founding figure for the idea of artificial intelligence. His story, long overlooked, continues to be studied in the light of current developments in computer science.
