TLDR
Alan Turing will be pictured on a new £50 banknote. He was an outstanding mathematician and a pioneer of computer science and artificial intelligence. He led “Hut 8” a group responsible for cryptanalysis (deciphering coded messages) He devised new techniques to speed up the interpretation of German cipher, improving upon previous methods. This allowed the Allies to intercept and crack enemy messages, which may have shortened the war by two or three years and saved an estimated 14–21 million lives.via the TL;DR App
