Alan Turing was trained as a mathematician. During World War II, he worked for British Intelligence at Bletchley Park, where he specialized in cryptography (breaking secret codes). Using his expertise in mathematical logic, he developed an algorithm (a mathematical template) that was used to program a calculating machine to analyze German codes. The programming was successful and enabled the British to crack the German "Enigma" code; for several months the Allies had full access to German messages. Turing's work at Bletchley Park led directly to the development of the computer and modern research in Artificial Intelligence.
Although Turing never claimed to be a philosopher, his work on the nature of intelligence and machine "thinking" is considered a substantial contribution to the philosophical discussion on these issues.
