• Turing completeness, a level of computational power equivalent to that of a Turing machine
• Turing test, a test of artificial intelligence in which an artificial intelligence program tries to mimic the conversational interactions of a human
• Reverse Turing test, similar in setup to a Turing test, but in which the roles of human and computer are switched (e.g., a human tries to mimic the interactions of an artificial intelligence program)
• Turing Award, the annual award given by the Association for Computing Machinery for outstanding contributions of a technical nature to the computing community
• Turing Center, a research center at the University of Washington
