is also known as Ada Lovelace
was a mathematician
is often referred to as the “first programmer”
has a programming language named after her, called ADA
6.Alan Turing ____________ .
said that the question whether machines can think is itself “too meaningless”
proposed a method to test a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. He called it “imitation game” and now it is called “Turing Test”

A physical symbol system understands the laws of physics.
It is an approach to AI, based on the assumption that all aspects of intelligence can be achieved by the manipulation of symbols.
It was proposed by Allen Newell and Herbert Simon.
The three laws of robotics were especially devised for physical symbol systems.
