After the Complaint: What Should ACM Disclose?
Every now and then, ACM is faced with cases of alleged wrongdoing. Some are very serious, raising calls for ACM to more publicly disclose more information surrounding cases of wrongdoing.

A Philosopher’s Daughter Navigates a Career in AI
In high school, a friend of my brother who was studying telecommunication engineering spoke to me about the great potential technology holds to improve society. That conversation inspired me to study computer science.
Fending off Cyberattacks on Collaborative Robots
Hackers leverage IoT, IIoT vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to cobots.
Feather-light yet providing near-total shielding capability, MXenes effectively conduct electricity, tune frequencies, and enhance the integrity of communications signals better than traditional materials.
Why doing psychology on large language models is harder than you might think.
Using GitHub CoPilot is Like Having a Superpower
With the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) and tools like GitHub CoPilot, I think we’re a step closer towards a world where software can be created by anyone. In fact, my colleague Brad Myers, who has investigated end-user programming for decades, believes that CoPilot is the biggest change to programming since Google search. I think this may be understating things. We’re going to see a wave of new kinds of software programming tools based on LLMs, and they will be transformative in how developers build and evaluate computer systems.
Three to five years from now, we won’t be talking about what ChatGPT can or can’t do, but we could be talking about how ChatGPT brought us all together, and the intellectual culture of the university began to shift.
Ambient IoT Gets Down to Business
Highly flexible, inexpensive low-energy sensors combined with pervasive connectivity and artificial intelligence deliver real-time triggers without human intervention.
What Google Should Really Be Worried About
How sewers of lies could spell the end of Web search.
In a single-author text (such as this one), we can assume a lot about the process. In the multi-author case, all these assumptions start to break down.

Manufacturers look to make batteries safer and help them last longer by replacing liquid cores with solid ones.
The Need For Combined Data And Analytic Governance
Numbers don't mean anything if people don't understand, or trust, the computation behind them.
(Re)Use of Research Results (Is Rampant)
Prior pessimism about reuse in software engineering research may have been a result of using the wrong methods to measure the wrong things.
HPC Forecast: Cloudy and Uncertain
An examination of how the technology landscape has changed and possible future directions for HPC operations and innovation.
Proving Data-Poisoning Robustness in Decision Trees
We present a sound verification technique based on abstract interpretation and implement it in a tool called Antidote, which abstractly trains decision trees for an intractably large space of possible poisoned datasets.
An ancient Roman dispatched to find the greatest technological advances of the time may lose something of far greater importance.
Four Ways to Add Active Learning to Computing Courses

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.
