Alan Mathison Turing，He is named with founding both computer science and artificial intelligence. If we split up his life into two sections, one taking place before the Second World War and the other following it.
He has shown early mathematical skills throughout his first period. He enrolled at King's College and wrote some significant writings between 1935 and 1939. He started his undergraduate studies in 1931 and quickly displayed his exceptional talent. Turing appeared to be on the path to success at the beginning of his academic career after earning a highly regarded degree in 1934, followed by a scholarship to King's College in 1935 and a Smith Prize in 1936 for his work on probability theory. However, his remarkable way of thinking pushed him to new heights.One of these, published in 1936 with the title "On computable numbers, with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem" garnered a lot of attention right once. He included a description of a tool that could help with mathematical research in the paper's appendix， and this tool would eventually become known as the "Turing machine".

The most revolutionary part of this notion was that it created a link between pure mathematical symbolic logic and the physical world for the first time. This concept served as the foundation for both the computer and the as-yet-unrealized "artificial intelligence. "In the years following World War II. Turing started working on military code-breaking for the British Ministry of Communications in the autumn of 1939. He also contributed to the creation of the first electrical computers ever made. Turing created a thorough design specification for the ACE that year. He developed the famous Turing test in 1950, according to which a machine is considered to have artificial intelligence if a third party cannot detect the difference between its response and that of a human. He also published "Computing Machinery and Intelligence". This work was remarkable.A thorough response to the issue "can machine think?" showing an another for machines(Ifrah 2000).
Turing's contributions to computer science continue to be useful to us. Artificial intelligence research conducted by scientist is still relevant today. Finally, a number of his scientific breakthroughs form the basis of modern computer technology.
