Alan Turing's Vision of Computers and the Philosophical Differences between Biological and Mechanical Computers
10:50 - 17:17 (06:27)
This podcast discusses Alan Turing's definition of a mechanical machine that can produce an infinite amount of digits, similar to the human brain's computational abilities. The conversation also touches on the differences between biological and mechanical computers, and how robots are becoming more humanlike in appearance and function.

Summary
The podcast discusses Alan Turing's concept of computer and his aim to have a mechanical process that could calculate numbers, similar to how humans use to generate tables. He came up with a simple set of constraints where there was an infinite supply of paper, which is the tape of the Turing machine.
