Alan Turing Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer.[4][5][6] Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.[7]
