UT Austin researchers used AI to correctly predict 70% of earthquakes over seven months in an area of China a week before they happened.
Datagram Forwarding Considered Harmful
Perhaps we need to look to forms of structured networking as a means of restricting and controlling the use of unstructured routing.
AI makes Open-Source Intelligence more accessible to those analyzing information or generating misinformation.
The landscape for AI copyright and patent law looks a lot like the landscape for AI: confusing, chaotic, and changing at lightspeed.
How Laser Communications Are Improving Satellites
Demonstrations indicate that laser communications could deliver significantly higher bandwidth than RF, with reduced size, weight, and power requirements on satellites.
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.
