    • Alan Turing, known as the father of artificial intelligence (AI), is to become a “groundbreaking” interactive display that will answer questions from museum goers.
    • An AI life-sized version of Turing is being created for Bletchley Park, near Milton Keynes – the once-secret home of Britain’s World War Two codebreakers.

    OUR TAKE
    This innovative display merges history and technology, offering an engaging way for visitors to connect with Alan Turing’s legacy. Bletchley Park’s use of AI to create an interactive experience not only honours Turing’s contributions but also highlights the continuing evolution of machine learning.

    What happened

    An interactive AI display featuring Alan Turing is being developed for Bletchley Park. This life-sized version of Turing will be able to answer visitors’ questions about his life and work, tailoring its responses based on whether it is speaking to an individual, a group, or children. This initiative is described as a “world first” by Bletchley Park.

    Rebecca Foy, the director of public engagement at Bletchley Park, announced that this interactive Turing will coincide with a new AI exhibition, aiming to introduce visitors to wartime stories in a novel way. The technology, created in collaboration with the UK-based AI company 1956 Individuals, will take several months to complete and will include responses in multiple languages.

    Alan Turing’s pivotal role in World War Two, particularly in breaking the Enigma code, will be highlighted through this display. After the war, Turing’s work laid the foundation for modern digital computers and machine learning.

    Why it’s important

    This interactive display at Bletchley Park represents a significant intersection of history and cutting-edge technology, enhancing visitor engagement by bringing Alan Turing’s legacy to life. The project underscores the historical significance of Turing’s contributions to AI and machine learning, tracing back to his codebreaking efforts during World War Two.

    The development of this display by 1956 Individuals, a leading AI company, showcases the UK’s ongoing innovation in digital character creation. By allowing visitors to interact with a life-sized AI version of Turing, Bletchley Park not only honours a historical figure but also educates the public about the roots and evolution of AI technology.

    Sir Dermot Turing, Alan Turing’s nephew, emphasised the educational and personal connection this display will provide for visitors, making Turing’s pioneering research more accessible and engaging. This project highlights the enduring impact of Turing’s work and its relevance in today’s technological advancements.
