THE SACRED SHROUD OF TURING

This is a techno-spiritual relic reminiscent of the famous Shroud of Turin, which in turn refers to the scientific contribution of Alan Turing, one of the greatest minds of the 20th century. Turing was involved in the project to crack the Enigma machine, which encrypted Nazi messages on the front lines during World War II. In 1950, the English mathematician proposed a test to determine whether a machine could achieve the level of intelligence and empathy of the human brain. Scientists claim that the Turing test was passed in 2015. Will religious relics exist in 2,000 years? Will artificial superintelligences develop their own technological spirituality?
