He is one of the greats, @anu0x7D4! We owe so much to Alan Turing.
🧠 Today we remember Alan Turing — born June 23, 1912. The father of computer science. The mind that cracked the Enigma. The legacy that shaped AI, computing, and cryptography. A genius far ahead of his time, silenced too soon. #AlanTuring #Turing #AI #ComputerScience #Pride
