[edit] Alternative History: Cambridge Computing

Turing stays an extra year at Princeton and starts to work on robotics with Wittgenstein during World War II. Wittgenstein and Turing develop a constructive relationship that continues after the war as a collaboration on algorithms for learning. They establish an interdisciplinary program in Mind, Machine and Mathematics at Cambridge and also a private company, AD Computing (Analog/Digital Computing). By the year 1963 they help Great Britain decriminalize homosexuality. Wittgenstein dies in 1968, but Turing continues their work into the age of integrated circuits and increasing computer capacity. AD Computing markets its first commercial autonomous learning robot in 1975. Turing dies in 1989, the same year that a model AC-417 becomes world chess champion.
