Alan Turing

Alan Mathison Turing was a British mathematician and theorist, and hailed as the father of computer science. He also was the man responsible for decrypting the Enigma device during World War II, ensuring a victory for the Allied Forces against Nazi Germany. He was also responsible for the Turing Test, which involved determining whether a computer or AI had "sentience" or not if they possessed a keen intellect, which was inspired by a party trick involving deducing whether written notes were made by a woman or a man posing as a woman.

During Dr. Strangelove's childhood, she frequently paid a visit to Turing's home to learn mathematics from him. She held a lot of respect for him and also viewed him as "different" than the other people she interacted with, although she never knew the reason until after his death.

Although hailed as a hero for his role in ending World War II with an Allied victory, Turing was eventually arrested and incarcerated for the rest of his life because he practiced a homosexual lifestyle, which at the time was illegal in the United Kingdom.

The Turing Test of intelligence was eventually disproven in 1980 by John Searle.
