ACM Fellow and A.M. Turing Award recipient Dana Scott reflects on his career.
The future of over-the-counter at-home medical tests is trending toward multiple-malady detection.
Europe’s Blockchain: A Solution Struggling to Find a Problem
Decentralizing the chain of trust to a blockchain–also known as a distributed ledger–causes additional privacy and security issues.
Food fraud is a global problem that typically involves the dilution or mislabeling of food products, or ingredient substitution. In 2013, horse meat was found in many supermarket meals in Europe that claimed to contain beef, for example, while milk has often been found to be watered down in India to increase profits. A 2021 […]
NFT Thefts and What to Do About Them
When someone steals a non-fungible token (NFT), the options for recourse are not always clear.
Universities, and a growing number of companies, are producing brain-computer interfaces.
Using Makeup to Block Surveillance
Altering one's facial features with a special type of makeup can keep them from being recognized by artificial intelligence.
Biometric markers are increasingly popular targets of data theft, potentially endangering far more than your locally stored information.
Using AI to Improve Farm Animal Welfare
The ability to assess the emotions of farm animals could help improve their welfare. When animals are stressed or distressed, for example, the result can be a variety of harmful behaviors: pigs may bite each other’s tails, which can cause infections, while chickens may engage in cannibalism by picking their flockmates’ feathers, combs, or toes […]
Existing and new technologies can help cut datacenters' carbon footprint.
Addressing Labor Shortages with Automation
Labor shortages have many companies turning to automation technology, but with mixed outcomes.
Depending on climate conditions, the availability of renewables and other factors, immersion cooling can make a profound difference in both energy consumption and costs.
A Deeper Understanding of Deep Learning
Kernel methods clarify why neural networks generalize so well.
Jack J. Dongarra is the recipient of the 2021 ACM A.M. Turing Award for his pioneering contributions to numerical algorithms and libraries that enabled high-performance computational software to keep pace with exponential hardware improvements for over four decades.
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more widely used to make decisions that affect our lives, making certain it is fair is a growing concern. Algorithms can incorporate bias from several sources, from the people involved in different stages of their development to modelling choices that introduce or amplify unfairness. A machine learning system used by […]
Collegiate CS Ethics Programs Emerging En Masse
Universities have created new engineering ethics programs, added concentrated subject-matter ethics programs, and made ethics course material available through open access and free licensing arrangements.
Neural Networks Learn to Speed Up Simulations
Physics-informed machine learning is gaining attention, but suffers from training issues.
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.
