Alan Mathison Turing is much more than the protagonist of Morten Tyldum's American blockbuster The Imitation Game. While Turing is the mathematician best known for cracking the code of the German Enigma machine that the Wehrmacht used to send and receive encrypted messages during World War II, he is also considered by many to be the father of the computer and artificial intelligence.

ROBERTA, the podcast:

We are specialists in artificial intelligence (AI) and we want to share our passion with you.

With this podcast Roberta, in honour of Roberta Wohlstetter, a pioneer of modern intelligence, we looked at the stories of those who have influenced or been influenced by AI.
