Abstract

In 1950, Alan Turing's paper about ‘computing machinery and intelligence’ appeared in which he used the term ‘learning machine’ proposing to develop a ‘child machine’ filled with hereditary material, on which training is employed and ‘natural selection’ is simulated by the experimenters’ choices. Two years later, first compilers were built and first programming languages began to shape, such as FORTRAN and COBOL. Although Turing's help to break German military code during the Second World War may well be decisive for the defense of the United Kingdom, he was arrested for homosexuality. Turing was unable to see the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and programming languages, because he committed suicide two years after his arrest (Wardrip-Fruin & Montfort, 2003)…
