Turing machines are widely believed to be universal, in the sense that any computation done by any system can also be done by a Turing machine. In a new article, researchers present their work ...

Alan Turing, father of artificial intelligence (AI), will soon rise as an animated figure at Bletchley Park near Milton Keynes home of Britain’s Second World War code breakers, BBC reported.

The program is a simulated Turing machine, a mathematical model of computation created by codebreaker Alan Turing.

It implies Turing Machines give a faithful mathematical model of computation. This is not a formal mathematical result, but rather a working assumption which is now widely accepted.
