It seems that every day brings a new headline about the burgeoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini—headlines that are either exciting or increasingly ...

This month is the 75th anniversary of the Turing Test, which Alan Turing introduced to the world in his paper, “Computing ...

Some of today’s most capable AI systems are refined versions of large language models (LLMs) that predict text on the basis ...

A mathematical model of computation. Named after English scientist Alan Turing, a Turing machine is a finite state machine that reads a tape divided into cells. The Turing machine examines the symbol ...

Turing machines were first proposed by British mathematician Alan Turing in 1936, and are a theoretical mathematical model of what it means for a system to "be a computer." At a high level, these ...

Empowered by artificial intelligence technologies, computers today can engage in convincing conversations with people, compose songs, paint paintings, play chess and go, and diagnose diseases, to name ...

This week we’ll venture in the realm of theory for a change, starting with Turing machines. In case some of you don’t know what a Turing machine is, here is the Wikipedia definition: “A theoretical ...

A computer science professor from Sweden has discovered an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the Universal Turing Machine, one of the earliest computer designs in history. Pontus Johnson, a ...

One of the things we love best about the articles we publish on Hackaday is the dynamic that can develop between the hacker and the readers. At its best, the comment section of an article can be a ...

<B>Why did you think of this?</B> To some extent, I'm masochistic. Recently I've been working on a paper that involves TMs and I wrote a small simulator to check my solutions. I'm bored; therefore, we ...
