THE FUTURE IS HERE

Alan Turing, Artificial Intelligence, and Stamp Collecting – John Dermot Turing

Alan Turing probably never collected stamps, but he was one of the pioneers of Artificial Intelligence. Dermot Turing tells the story of how Alan Turing recognised that machines could learn, and considers whether the debate about the direction of Artificial Intelligence has moved on in the 70 years since then. What is the Robot Fallacy and why are we still trapped by it? How should we be planning for a world where AI is central to our lives? And what has any of this got to do with Stamp-Collecting?
