AI IMAGE - Portrait of Alan Turing, 1940s, (2023). Creator: Heritage Images
AI IMAGE - Portrait of Alan Turing, 1940s, (2023). British mathematician, logician and code breaker Alan Turing (1912-1954) joined the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, as part of the team who broke the Enigma code. In 1942 he devised the first systematic method for breaking messages encrypted by the sophisticated German cipher machine known as Tunny by the British. After the war, he joined the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in London, and designed the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE). In 1952 Turing was convicted of "gross indecency" - homosexuality was then a crime in Britain - and was forced to have hormone "therapy." He was discovered dead in bed, poisoned by cyanide. The official verdict was suicide, but no motive was found. In 2009 the British government publicly apologized for Turing's treatment, and he was granted a royal pardon

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intellectual intensity and innovative spirit of Alan Turing, the British mathematician, logician, and codebreaker, during the 1940s. Turing is best known for his groundbreaking work at Bletchley Park, where he played a pivotal role in cracking the Enigma code, a sophisticated German cipher machine that was a major threat to Allied forces during World War II. In 1942, Turing developed the first systematic method for deciphering messages encrypted by the Enigma machine, significantly contributing to the Allied victory. After the war, Turing joined the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in London and designed the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE), one of the first designs for a general-purpose computer. Tragically, Turing's personal life was marred by persecution. In 1952, he was convicted of "gross indecency" for his homosexuality, a crime in Britain at the time. He was subjected to hormone "therapy," a cruel and ineffective attempt to "cure" him of his sexual orientation. In 1954, Turing was found dead in his home, with the official verdict being suicide, although no clear motive was ever identified. In 2009, the British government publicly apologized for the injustices inflicted upon Turing and granted him a posthumous royal pardon. This poignant image, captured in the 1940s, serves as a powerful reminder of Turing's enduring legacy as a brilliant mathematician, a pioneering computer scientist, and a victim of societal prejudice.
