The father of AI is being brought back from the dead – by AI.
Technology icon Alan Turing will be resurrected as a life-size avatar at his World War Two codebreaking base of Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, where he slaved to solve the Nazi’s top-secret messages.

Rebecca Foy, Bletchley Park’s director of public engagement, said: “Even without his wartime work, he would rightly be famous for his pioneering computing work.”
