The article discusses how advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and modern computing would make deciphering the Second World War Enigma code—once considered unbreakable—a trivial task today. While the original code took Alan Turing and his team immense effort and months of work to crack, current computer scientists point out that AI models and contemporary computational power would solve the puzzle almost instantaneously. The piece also highlights the historical methods, weaknesses in Enigma, Turing’s innovations, and the ongoing strength of modern cryptographic systems like RSA. Experts emphasize that though Enigma would fall quickly to today’s machines, Turing’s wartime achievement remains monumental.
