The code-breaking work at Bletchley Park, which helped save Britain from Nazi Germany, qualifies as one of the greatest stories of World War II, and the misunderstood genius, <B>Alan Turing</B>, stands at the center of this tale.  Perhaps no one understands Turing’s role during this period -- and his larger impact on mathematics and computing -- like <B>B. Jack Copeland</B>.  In this lecture, Copeland contends that Turing should be celebrated as the father of artificial intelligence.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/423"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://mitworld.mit.edu/host/view/109">Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL)</A></LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/423"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/mitworld.mit.edu/img/51B55338-D74B-4B9F-9FF7-7B84219B1556" alt="csail creativity mind math" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/74275CC5-4174-4A85-BFDB-D4FBF5B2C38F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
