Books crafted by people, enhanced by technology
Turing Press believes the future of publishing isn't about replacing human creativity—it's about amplifying it. We bring together authors, editors, and readers with AI tools to create books that neither could produce alone.
The name "Turing Press" is a playful nod to the famous Turing Test—Alan Turing's proposed measure of machine intelligence. But don't be misled: we are far from a press that relies on AI alone. In fact, we believe that's precisely what not to do.
The magic happens at the intersection. When a skilled author brings their expertise, their unique perspective, and their years of accumulated wisdom to the table—and then leverages AI as a collaborator, a research assistant, a tireless editor—something remarkable emerges. The human provides the soul; the AI helps with the scaffolding.
Humans in the loop isn't just a preference—it's essential. The author, the editor, the designer: these creative minds guide every decision. AI is a powerful tool, but tools don't tell stories. People do.
We see AI the way a master carpenter sees a power tool: it can help you work faster, cut more precisely, and attempt projects that would otherwise be impractical. But it doesn't replace the craftsperson's eye, judgment, or decades of experience knowing what makes something beautiful and true.
Serious books for curious minds
These are books built on deep expertise. An author with years—often decades—of knowledge in their field works with AI to research more thoroughly, write more clearly, and iterate more rapidly than ever before.
The result? Nonfiction that competes with the best books on the shelf. Works that are meticulously researched, thoughtfully argued, and beautifully written.
Where your child is the hero
These aren't books you'll find in stores—they're books made for one special reader. A child's name, their interests, their friends, their dreams woven into an adventure crafted just for them.
These stories are printed and given as gifts: birthday presents, holiday surprises, or "just because" treasures. The recipient isn't just reading about a hero—they are the hero.
Every Book Unique
Alan Turing imagined a future where machines could think. We imagine a future where machines help us think—more clearly, more creatively, more ambitiously. The Turing Test asked whether AI could pass as human. We're asking a different question: what can humans create when AI is their partner?
