Why it matters

The idea in context

This comes from Turing's 'Computing Machinery and Intelligence'. The source context is the question of machine intelligence, framed through behaviour, testing, and the limits of definition. Alan Turing (1912–1954) was an English mathematician and a father of computer science, who helped crack the Enigma code in World War II.
