The '''ACM A. M. Turing Award''' is an annual prize given by the [[Association for Computing Machinery]] (ACM) for contributions of lasting and major technical importance to [[computer science]]. It is generally recognized as the highest distinction in the field of computer science and is often referred to as the "[[List of prizes known as the Nobel of a field or the highest honors of a field|Nobel Prize of Computing]]". {{As of|2025}}, 79 people have been awarded the prize, with the most recent recipients being [[Andrew Barto]] and [[Richard S. Sutton]], who won in 2024.<ref name="ACM" /><ref name="BartoSutton">{{cite press release|title=ACM A.M.
