About

The ACM A.M. Turing Award, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of Computing,” carries a $1 million prize, with financial support provided by Google, Inc. It is named for Alan M. Turing, the British mathematician who articulated the mathematical foundation and limits of computing. Since its inception in 1966, the Turing Award has honored the computer scientists and engineers who created the systems and underlying theoretical foundations that have propelled the information technology industry. The video clips presented here were edited down from longer interviews with award recipients conducted by ACM (or provided to ACM by other organizations) to accompany the biographical profiles at https://amturing.acm.org/. Each clip describes a key contribution of an awardee or an important moment in their life or career.
