Everything we know about computer sciences and artificial intelligence is due to the contributions of Alan Turing. He contributed significantly in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer.

Therefore, it fits right to honor the computing wizards of today with an Award named after the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.
