Who Is Responsible Around Here?
Let us stop talking about Responsible AI. We, computing professionals, should all accept responsibility now, starting with ACM!
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.
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.

"Proving Data-Poisoning Robustness in Decision Trees," by Samuel Drews et al., addresses the challenge of processing an intractably large set of trained models when enumeration is infeasible in a clean, beautiful, and elegant manner.
This is an update on the efforts of the ACM Executive Committee and Council to draft a longer-term strategic plan for our organization.
The QR code, a convenient mechanism for delivering digital information to a reader, does not come with any human-readable way to ascertain safety. You have no way to tell whether it is potentially malicious.
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.
