Turing
Turing refers to Alan Turing (1912–1954), the British mathematician who laid foundations for computer science and artificial intelligence.
A Turing machine is a theoretical model of computation.
The Turing test measures whether a machine can exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from a human: The chatbot couldn't pass the Turing test.
Turing-complete describes a system capable of simulating any Turing machine.
