What would Alan Turing think of ChatGPT? Journey into the theoretical!

The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) is home to the world's largest collection of working historic computers.Follow the development of computing: from the Turing-Welchman Bombe and Colossus of the 1940s through the large systems and mainframes of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, to the rise of personal computing and the rise of mobile computing and the internet.Recognised as one of England’s top 100 ‘irreplaceable places’, we welcome corporate and group visits, schools and individuals from all over the world.We are normally open Tuesday to Friday 10:30 -17:00, Saturday & Sunday 10:30 – 17:00. Please check tickets for actual opening days and times.TNMOC operates independently of Bletchley Park Trust, although we are located on the Bletchley Park Estate.To visit us, go through the main Bletchley Park entrance, through the barrier, walk or drive bearing left beyond the main car parks, to our separate entrance located at the top of the Park.Visit their website here for more information.https://www.tnmoc.org/Sat Nav users: please use the postcode for the railway station MK3 6DS on Sherwood Drive and then follow signs. The postcode for Bletchley Park will actually take you to an old entrance which is closed.

AI has been pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and blurring the lines between humans and machines for decades. In a single year, ChatGPT accelerated that – for better and worse.Alan Turing gave us his eponymously named test when computers were just lumbering monsters and software in its infancy. What would he make of things now? Excited, alarmed or surprised by generative AI’s growing potential – and the technology politics around it?Join us for a lively debate and Q&A online at TNMOC on October 13 as together we try to establish what Turing might make of events. This is a great opportunity to hear from, and put your questions, to:Sir Dermot Turing, acclaimed author and nephew of Alan, who will provide unique insights into his uncle's visionary contributions to computing and the broader implications of AI. Drawing from his family connection and research, Dermot will look at how Alan’s legacy aligns with developments, including models' ability to produce human-level responses and outputs.Todd Holloway, enterprise IT security expert and an authority on ChatGPT and its applications, who will link theory with practice. Todd will discuss ChatGPT’s capabilities, limitations and impact. He will provide context on the way AI models have evolved and the ethical considerations.Joanna Bryson, an authority on intelligence and professor of ethics and technology at The Hertie School of Governance in Berlin who is working with governments and others around the world on the implications and ethics of AI. Joanna will consider the nature of “what is” digital intelligence and explore today’s real-world issues in governance, ethics and transparency.Up for discussion will be:<ul><li>How would Alan Turing perceive the advancements in AI, particularly in natural language processing?</li><li>What ethical considerations arise from creating AI systems that can hold conversations akin to human interactions?</li><li>How do AI and GPT models fit into the broader landscape of technological progress and innovation?</li></ul>Whether you're fascinated by Alan Turing, actively working on AI, involved in policy or just intrigued by the potential impact of ChatGPT, you won’t want to miss this exploration through the hypothetical thoughts of one of history's greatest minds.
