Alan Turing, a renowned codebreaker during World War II, made a groundbreaking contribution to twentieth-century thought with his 1936 paper "On Computable Numbers." Not only did this paper lay the foundation for the post-war computer, but it also introduced a novel perspective on the philosophy of the mind. Drawing inspiration from his crucial codebreaking work during the war and his pioneering efforts in the development of electronic computers, Turing proposed that all the operations of the mind could be replicated by computers. His thesis serves as the cornerstone of modern artificial intelligence.
