New UK banknote just about passes Turing test richardbeales1
Mathematician Alan Turing, who helped Britain win World War Two with his code-cracking but committed suicide after being convicted for homosexuality, will appear on the Bank of England's next 50-pound banknote, the BoE said on July 15.
“As the father of computer science and artificial intelligence, as well as war hero, Alan Turing's contributions were far-ranging and path-breaking,” BoE Governor Mark Carney said. “Turing is a giant on whose shoulders so many now stand.” Turing killed himself in 1954, aged 41, with cyanide. He was granted a rare royal pardon by Queen Elizabeth II in 2013 for the criminal conviction that led to his suicide.
