More on Computing’s Divided Future
Thank you for addressing the danger posed by the current Chinese government's imperialistic ambitions, using every tool at its disposal, including technology and foreign visitors (January 2022 Communications Editor's Letter).
The Role of Math in IT Education
Andrei Sukhov considers why and how the foundations of teaching mathematics for information technology specialties need to be revised.
Addressing Labor Shortages with Automation
Labor shortages have many companies turning to automation technology, but with mixed outcomes.
The growing popularity of computational workflows is also a cause for concern. How can we enjoy the common benefits of the workflows and eliminate the risks?
Perspectives on the role and responsibility of the data-management research community in designing, developing, using, and overseeing automated decision systems.
I have noticed that there is a growing trend to dumb down the CS curriculum by removing mathematical topics.
Programming is For More than Engineering; Computer Science is About More than Building Things
Programming should be part of computing education curriculum, and take into account all the ways students will use computing.
Validity and Reliability in Data Science: An Interdisciplinary Perspective
We examine the essence of the components of data science, as well as their interrelations, from the educational perspective.

A Data-Driven Exploration of the Race between Human Labor and Machines in the 21st Century
To understand automation and the future of work, this study explores how human labor competes, or cooperates, with technology in performing a range of tasks.
To fulfill its responsibility as the world's preeminent computing professional society, the ACM must transform itself to lead.
The West has responded to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with punitive economic sanctions. In one fell swoop, the efficient, (almost) unified world of global technology has come apart.
How a Shopping Mall Trip Inspired Me to Work in Neuro-Symbolic AI
I'll never forget the time — at just six years of age — when my father showed me a toy robot holding a tray and told me that very soon there will be actual robot helpers in our home working for us.
Thanks for the Progress to Date!
Nearly 200 research institutions have signed on to ACM Open, and the Association is fast approaching the first major milestone for the transition to an Open Access Publisher.
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.
