His research on code-breaking helped to win WWII and he made groundbreaking contributions to AI and machine learning. <br/><br/>Persecuted for being gay, which was then a crime in Great Britain, Turing died in 1954 at the age of 41. <br/><br/>His portrait, by Jordan Sokol, hangs in the atrium of Lewis Library on Princeton&#39;s campus.<br/> <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/princeton-social-storage/media_attachments/files/114/733/407/328/251/201/original/70c7a5800571ce8f.jpg"> <br/> 2025-06-23T15:34:29Z
