It's critical to address AI's water footprint to ensure that it does not exacerbate global water stresses.
The Real, Significant Threat of Shadow AI
Unsanctioned AI tools are a growing risk for organizations, especially those in highly regulated industries where security, compliance, and data integrity are critical.
Claude 4’s Agency in Practice: Beyond Code Generation
My comparative testing revealed distinct approaches that suggest an "agency spectrum" for AI coding systems.
Anybody who thinks LLMs are a direct route to the sort of AGI that could fundamentally transform society for the good is kidding themselves.
Smarter Prompts for a More Sustainable Future?
Companies should embed AI usage policies into their AI strategies.
Researchers Tap AI to Dig Into the Past
Experts are using AI to find archaeological sites, decipher ancient documents, and locate underwater World War II aircraft wrecks.
Fantasy, the Restrained AI Cousin of Hallucination
Maybe people shouldn't be surprised by GenAI stretching truth as it prioritizes a readable, plausible, or persuasive response to their prompts.
Integrity will be the primary security challenge for AI systems of the next decade.
Closing the Gap Between AI Output and Human Expectations
Exploring the gap between what's expected of AI and what it can actually deliver.
Should Universities Raise or Lower Admission Requirements for CS Programs in the Age of GenAI?
One way to address the shifts in computer science is to differentiate more clearly between research-oriented academic programs and more application-focused ones.
Researchers have tapped reward-based reinforcement learning to teach robots to walk on diverse terrains, negotiate steps, and handle other motor functions.
Generative Artificial Intelligence Policies under the Microscope
CS conferences are increasingly adopting and sharing GenAI policies for authors, and guidelines for reviewers.
The term "hallucination" takes us away from understanding the value of GenAI connecting the things it is sure of with plausible but fantastical material.
Understanding the Environmental Impact of Generative AI Services
A methodology to assess the environmental impact of Stable Diffusion as an end-to-end service.
The Rise of the AI-Enabled Agentic Internet
Society is turning over major and minor decisions once made exclusively by humans to AI agents.
A Generative AI-Powered Digital Twin for Adaptive NASH Care
Conversational digital twins, built responsibly, represent the next frontier in preventive and participatory medicine.
How AI Raises the Bar for Developers
Programmers working in some problem areas in the future will likely need to develop and test most of their code manually, even as the majority adopt AI-enabled approaches.
They Can Include AI, But Should They?
Educators must help students learn not just to build with AI, but to determine if it belongs.
Is AI Security Work Best Done In Academia or Industry? Part 2
Academia benefits from the flow of fresh talent, a pristine stream that is seemingly magically, continually replenished.
Malicious AI Models Undermine Software Supply-Chain Security
Trusted repositories, cryptographic validation, and controlled access can help organizations mitigate risks associated with malicious AI models.
The creative and practical scope of LLMs is undergoing a dramatic expansion.
AI tools now support the entire software development lifecycle, from drafting to debugging.
How AI measures up to the human motivation to experiment, break boundaries, or create something new.
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.
