A new movie about some of the pivotal work of Alan Turing opens next week: The Imitation Game.

Turing famously proposed the Turing Test, to see if artificial intelligence can be mistaken for a human being. The best example of the Turing Test can be seen in Blade Runner.

Meanwhile, Silicon Valley starts replacing security guards with robots. Not quite as advanced as those portrayed in movies such as I-Robot, but still an eerie step in that direction.
