Artificial Intelligence Still Can’t Form Concepts
Concepts and abstraction are key to unlocking AI's full potential.
ChatGPT Helps or Hurts our Cybersecurity?
The specter is that when fully mature, this technology would be able to generate undetectable attacks and the defenders will be constantly fighting these fires. I do not subscribe to this dystopian view of the future.
What Can the FATE Community Learn from the Successes and Failures in Privacy?
There are many similarities between FATE (Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, Ethics) and privacy, and I believe that there are a lot of lessons that the FATE community can learn from past work, successes, and failures in privacy.
Rage Against the Intelligent Machines
AI safety concerns mount as Large Language Model risks are revealed.
Can Digital Wallets Save Cryptocurrency?
Seeking a better deal for bitcoin and its ilk in Web3 and the Metaverse.
Smartphone-based Satellite Connectivity to Move Beyond Emergency Services
Different approaches emerge in the race to provide direct-to-satellite smartphone services.
Even as software grows increasingly complex, artificial intelligence helps to simplify and automate coding tasks.
ACM Publications Finances for 2021
One requirement for ACM's multiyear transition to become a fully Open Access publisher is to develop and implement a sustainability plan to ensure ACM Publications continues to operate at a high level with the quality of its publications and the services it provides to the community.
Contracting for Artificial Intelligence
Considering the promises and perils of contracting for the use of artificial intelligence tools and data.
OSS Supply-Chain Security: What Will It Take?
A discussion with Maya Kaczorowski, Falcon Momot, George Neville-Neil, and Chris McCubbin
Leveraging scalable pointer analysis, value analysis, and dynamic analysis.
Protecting Autonomous Cars from Phantom Attacks
Enabling object detectors to better distinguish between real and fake objects in semi-autonomous and fully autonomous vehicles.
As with the huge hotel and condo complex being constructed adjacent to the building where my office is located, tools for building new systems often require temporary scaffolding to reach the point where the intended system can support itself.
Cyber Efficiency and Cyber Resilience
Complementary objectives competing for the same resources.
Where Is the Research on Cryptographic Transition and Agility?
Gaps facing the industry as quantum safe algorithms move closer to standardization.
Eight Reasons to Prioritize Brain-Computer Interface Cybersecurity
Defining and analyzing the impact of cyberattacks on novel generations of BCIs.
Technical Perspective: On Abstractions and Embedded Networks
"Symbol-Synchronous Buses," by Jonathan Oostvogels et al., conceives a notion of a symbol-synchronous bus, which effectively makes a multi-hop wireless network behave like a single wire.
Symbol-Synchronous Buses: Deterministic, Low-Latency Wireless Mesh Networking with LEDs
We describe a novel networking paradigm that aims to enable a new class of latency-sensitive applications by systematically breaking networking abstractions.
Will AI Replace Computer Programmers?
Advances in artificial intelligence tools that can code could improve productivity, but portend disruption.
Disputed Google research is receiving further scrutiny, despite the company's inaction in open-sourcing its data or source code as promised.
Shape the Future of Computing
ACM encourages its members to take a direct hand in shaping the future of the association. There are more ways than ever to get involved.
Get InvolvedCommunications of the ACM (CACM) is now a fully Open Access publication.
By opening CACM to the world, we hope to increase engagement among the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover the rich resources ACM has to offer.
