"Judea Pearl, a longtime UCLA professor whose work on artificial intelligence laid the foundation for such inventions as

 the iPhone's Siri speech recognition technology and Google's driverless cars, has been named the 2011 ACM 

Turing Award winner.

The annual Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) A.M. Turing Award, sometimes called the "Nobel Prize in Computing," recognises Pearl for his advances in probabilistic and causal reasoning. His work has enabled creation of thinking machines that can cope with uncertainty, making decisions even when answers aren't black or white. "
