War hero and computer science 開拓する Alan Turing to feature on £50 公式文書,認める

Alan Turing, the Second World War code-breaker and 開拓する of computer science with a “fearless approach to daunting problems”, will appear on the Bank of England’s next £50 公式文書,認める.

Turing was selected from a 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる) of nearly 1,000 適格の people who have 与える/捧げるd to science.

It is hoped that even more people will be 奮起させるd to learn about the groundbreaking 業績/成就s of the mathematician, whose later life was 影を投げかけるd by a 有罪の判決 for which he was 容赦d after death.

Bank of England 知事 示す Carney made the 告示 at?the?Science and 産業 Museum in Manchester.

The new polymer £50 公式文書,認める is 推定する/予想するd to enter 循環/発行部数 by the end of 2021.

It will feature a 引用する from Turing, given in an interview to the Times newspaper on June 11 1949: “This is only a foretaste of what is to come, and only the 影をつくる/尾行する of what is going to be.”

A GCHQ spokeswoman said Turing’s?technical 革新s “were ahead of their time and still 知らせる and 改善する our work at GCHQ to help keep the UK 安全な”.

Turing?played a pivotal 役割 at Bletchley Park in breaking the Enigma code, an 業績/成就 which is said to have?helped to 縮める the length of the Second World War by years, saving millions of lives.

The Enigma enciphering machine had been used by the German 武装した 軍隊s to send messages securely.

He was also pivotal in the 開発 of 早期に computers, first at the 国家の Physical 研究室/実験室 and later at the University of Manchester.

Turing laid the 創立/基礎s for work on 人工的な 知能 by considering the question of whether machines could think.

Turing’s place on the new £50 banknote means?Jane Austen wi ll continue to be the only woman, apart from the Queen, whose image will be on the Bank’s 公式文書,認めるs.

Writer Caroline Criado-Perez, who has 以前 (選挙などの)運動をするd to 最高潮の場面 the 欠如(する) of women on banknotes, pointed out that three out of four of the Bank of England’s 公式文書,認めるs will continue to feature men.

She wrote on Twitter: “So that’s still 75% male & 100% white. Really disappointing, @bankofengland.”

The 告示 that Turing will be celebrated on the new £50 公式文書,認める was welcomed.

Adrian Smith, director and 長,指導者 (n)役員/(a)執行力のある of the Alan Turing? 学校/設ける, said: “Turing’s fearless approach to daunting problems and his 知識人 curiosity still have a remarkable 影響(力) today across different disciplines and communities.”

Sir Dermot?Turing, 甥 of Alan?Turing?and trustee at Bletchley Park 信用, said: “Today’s 告示 follows many years of work by さまざまな individuals and organisations to honour and remember the life, work and 悲劇の death of Alan?Turing.

“I am touched by all those who 指名するd Alan to be the 直面する of the new £50 公式文書,認める, and hope today’s news will 奮起させる more people to learn about his story and 出資/貢献 to computer science.”

Iain Standen, 長,指導者 (n)役員/(a)執行力のある of Bletchley Park 信用, 追加するd: “Today he is rightly considered one of the 開拓するs of modern 計算するing and 人工的な 知能, and his 遺産/遺物 continues to 奮起させる new 世代s.”

Turing was?chosen に引き続いて the Bank’s character 選択 過程 which 含むd advice from 科学の 専門家s.

In 2018, the Banknote Character (a)忠告の/(n)警報 委員会 chose to celebrate the field of science on the £50 公式文書,認める, and the Bank received 227,299 指名/任命s? ? 主要な to 989 適格の 人物/姿/数字s.

A shortlist was drawn up by the 委員会, with the 知事 making the final 決定/判定勝ち(する).

The new banknote design features a photo of Turing from 1951,?a?(米)棚上げする/(英)提議する and mathematical 決まり文句/製法 from a 1936 paper by Turing, and technical 製図/抽選s for the British 爆弾 used to break Enigma-enciphered messages.

Turing’s 署名 from the 訪問者s’ 調書をとる/予約する at Bletchley Park in 1947 is 含むd, と一緒に ticker tape 描写するing Turing’s birth date ? June 23 1912 ? in binary code.

The 概念 of a machine fed by binary tape featured in Turing’s 1936 paper.
