The chosen location for the two-day conference has a special association with the man considered by many to be the father of modern computer science, Alan Turing. Before 1938, Bletchley Park was a mansion in the Buckinghamshire countryside built for a politician during the Victorian era. "What Alan Turing predicted many decades ago is now coming to fruition," she said, referring to his research into machine learning. "What happened at Bletchley Park eighty years ago opened the door to the new information age," Donelan said. Since then, men and women cautioned or convicted under historical homosexuality legislation were pardoned under what is known as the "Alan Turing law."
