Alan Turing
British mathematician and computer scientist who founded theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. Turing's work on computability, the Turing Test, and code-breaking at Bletchley Park changed history. His tragic death following prosecution for homosexuality highlights the persecution of genius. Turing's legacy in computing, AI, and LGBTQ+ history is immense.
