Happy birthday to Alan Turing, the creator of modern computing.
MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). CSAIL has played a major role in the technology revolution of the past 50 years.
Currently, CSAIL is focused on conducting groundbreaking research in artificial intelligence, computer systems, and the theory of computation, while also tackling pressing societal challenges such as education, health care, manufacturing and transportation. CSAIL makes its home in the Frank Gehry-designed Stata Center on the MIT campus, and will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2013.
