General Info: 

The Turing Award is awarded annually by the Association of Computing Machinery. The prize is named after Alan Turing, who set a standard for artificial intelligence that assumes that if you can't tell the difference between a machine and a person, then the machine has displayed artificial intelligence.

Google this week announced that they were giving an additional $150,000 to the prize money, which previously stood at $100,000. Which brings the prize up to __DO_THE_MATH__.

The Association of Computing Machinery has several other prizes, competitions, and symposiums. Check their website for more details.
