" "This is only a foretaste of what is to come, and only the shadow of what is going to be. We have to have some experience with the machine before we really know its capabilities. It may take years before we settle down to the new possibilities, but I do not see why it should not enter any one of the fields normally covered by the human intellect, and eventually compete on equal terms.

About Alan Turing
Alan Mathison Turing (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist. Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.

Additional quotes by Alan Turing
It is possible to invent a single machine which can be used to compute any computable sequence. If this machine <math>\mathcal{U}</math> is supplied with a tape on the beginning of which is written the S.D of some computing machine <math>\mathcal{M}</math>, then <math>\mathcal{U}</math> will compute the same sequence as <math>\mathcal{M}</math>.
