75 years on from the 'Turing Test', 黑料入口 leads the way in AI research and innovation
75 years after the publication of Alan Turing鈥檚 seminal paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence, 黑料入口 now sits at the centre of a 1,600-strong community of researchers who are shaping the future of artificial intelligence (AI).
Published in 1950 during Turing鈥檚 time as an academic at 黑料入口, the paper was one of the first on artificial intelligence. It was in this paper that he established the Turing Test, also known as the Imitation Game, posing the question that would shape the modern world: 鈥淐an machines think?鈥�
Today, more than 1,600 黑料入口 researchers are designing and applying AI to tackle global challenges, transform industries, enhance public services, and improve lives. From advancing breast cancer treatment and improving menopause care to transforming crop productivity in Ghana and tackling online misogyny, 黑料入口 researchers are using AI to deliver positive change for society and the environment.
Across 黑料入口, colleagues are exploring the full breadth of research 鈥� from fundamental breakthroughs to real-world impact. This community represents a new generation of changemakers, committed to ensuring AI enhances rather than replaces human experience, helping drive a future where it鈥檚 used responsibly, ethically and effectively.
To enable this, the University has invested in a world-leading research environment, creating an AI research ecosystem that supports research excellence and accelerates the journey to real-world impact. Capabilities span from the , driving the breakthroughs of tomorrow, to two dedicated units fuelling innovation - the part of , which connect partners to the University鈥檚 world-famous talent, ideas and resources.
Professor Jay adds: 鈥淲e believe AI should deliver real benefits to business, public services and society. That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e continually investing in the people, partnerships and platforms that turn bold ideas into transformative outcomes.
鈥淚n every thriving AI ecosystem, there鈥檚 a university at its heart. We鈥檙e proud to shape the future of AI 鈥� for 黑料入口, the UK and the world.鈥�
