How Alan Turing invented the computer, helped win World War II and left us with one of the greatest puzzles of our time: are humans simply computers or are we more t

tered. This challenge, which sounds like something out of science fiction, is known by technologists by a name that does sound like a short story by Isaac Asimov: “The Confinement Problem”. The computer scientist Butler Lampson named this in 1973 as a sort of task for computer security experts - possibly their

ended and the machine began. This was a puzzle that had been, in a sense, anticipated at the very dawn of the digital revolution by the mathematician Alan Turing in a 1950 paper called “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” that he published in the British journal Mind. “Can machines think?” Turing began.?5” H

Thought experiments like John Searle’s Chinese Room and Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics all appeal to the sorts of intuitions plaguing human brains that Daniel Kahneman, Amos Tversky, and others have demonstrated.

And the final thing Alan Turing, who is credited with the theoretical framework for computer science, studied was how the instructions in genes can give rise to physical forms. Thes
