An online rediscovery has sparked renewed interest in Alan Turing’s groundbreaking work on ‘unorganized machines,’ a concept considered a vital precursor to modern neural networks. A Reddit user recently shared the paper, igniting a discussion within the AI community about Turing’s early contributions to the field. The paper explores machines with initially random or unstructured connections, foreshadowing the learning capabilities of today’s advanced AI systems.
