GEOFFREY HINTON TALKS AI ON 60 MINUTES

2018 A.M. Turing Award recipient Geoffrey Hinton appeared on 60 Minutes to
discuss the risks and promise of artificial intelligence. Hinton—one of the
"Godfathers of AI" along with Yoshua Bengio and Yann LeCun—wants governments,
companies and developers to carefully consider the best ways to safely advance
the technology. He also believes that AI has the potential for both good and
harm, that now is the moment to run experiments to understand AI and pass laws
to ensure the technology is ethically used, and that AI does have the potential
to one day take over from humanity.


VINT CERF AND HARI BALAKRISHNAN RECEIVE MARCONI SOCIETY AWARDS

A.M Turing Award recipient Vint Cerf has received the Marconi Society Lifetime
Achievement Award. The Marconi Society Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes
individuals with an established history of distinguished work who have made

NMTI, is the nation’s highest honor for technological achievement, bestowed by
the president of the United States on leading innovators for their outstanding
contributions to America’s economic, environmental and social well-being. You
can view the event here.


NEW OPEN ACCESS PUBLISHING MODEL FOR ICPS COMING IN 2024

In a major step in its transition to fully Open Access (OA) publication of all
content on the ACM Digital Library, ACM will transition the International
Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS) to a fully OA publishing model from January
2024. In the new model, all ICPS papers will be made OA upon publication, and
existing ICPS papers will be converted to OA. Some authors who are not at ACM
Open institutions will be required to pay Article Processing Charges (APCs). The
model will apply to all conferences for which the Call for Papers will be issued
on or after January 1, 2024.


TELO ACCEPTED FOR SCOPUS COVERAGE

ACM Transactions on Evolutionary Learning and Optimization (TELO) has been
accepted for Scopus coverage. Similar to Web of Science, Scopus is an extensive
yet selective abstract and citation database that provides comprehensive
coverage of peer-reviewed journals, books, conference abstracts, and patents
across the natural sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. By having
its content included in Scopus, TELO’s content will be discoverable at 7,000 of
the world’s top research institutions.


ACM BOASTS STRONG IMPACT FACTORS

The journals of ACM once again had an impressive showing in the latest Journal
Citation Reports release from Clarivate, with notable performances across the
entire portfolio and fifteen journals receiving their first impact
factors—including four titles from the innovative Proceedings of the ACM (PACM)
program. ACM's flagship magazine Communications of the ACM (CACM) continued its
dominance by receiving an all-time high impact factor of 22.7, placing it first
in all three of its categories, and ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR) which continued
to ascend with an impact factor of 16.6, placing it third in the Computer
Science, Theory & Methods category.


CEASING PRINT PUBLICATION OF ACM JOURNALS AND TRANSACTIONS

ACM has made the decision to cease print publication for ACM’s journals and
transactions as of January 2024. There were several motivations for this change:
ACM wants to be as environmentally friendly as possible; print journals lack the
new features and functionality of the electronic versions in the ACM Digital
Library; and print subscriptions, which have been declining for years, have now
reached a level where the time was right to sunset print. Please contact
acmhelp@acm.org should you have any questions.


ACM SKILLS BUNDLE ADD-ON

ACM has created a new Skills Bundle add-on providing unlimited access to ACM's
collection of thousands of online books, courses, and training videos from
O'Reilly, Skillsoft Percipio, and Pluralsight. ACM’s collection includes more
than 60,000 online books and video courses from O’Reilly, 9,700 online courses
and 11,000 eBooks and audiobooks from Skillsoft, and 2,000 courses from
Pluralsight.

The new Skills Bundle add-on is available to paid Professional Members only.

Bundle to your membership.


TECHBRIEF ON GENERATIVE AI

ACM TechBriefs is a series of short technical bulletins by ACM’s Technology
Policy Council that present scientifically-grounded perspectives on the impact
of specific developments or applications of technology. Designed to complement
ACM’s activities in the policy arena, the primary goal is to inform rather than
advocate for specific policies. he new edition is focused on the rapid
commercialization of generative AI (GenAI) posing multiple large-scale risks to
individuals, society, and the planet which requires a rapid, internationally
coordinated response to mitigate.


HOTTOPIC PANEL ON AI REGULATION

To help make sense of the many and multiplying efforts to coordinate future
"GenAI" policy and governance around the globe, ACM's Technology Policy Council
hosted the latest in its HotTopics webinar series, "Artificial Intelligence,
Real Regulation: International Perspectives and Prospects"—now available on
demand. It is a fascinating discussion between moderator Michel Beaudouin-Lafon,
panelists Dame Wendy Hall, Juha Heikkila, and Marc Rotenberg, and audience
members about the growing concerns surrounding the growth and regulation of
generative artificial intelligence both now and in the future.

SCRAMBLED FEATURES FOR BREAKFAST: CONCEPTS OF AGILE LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT

In this article from the November 2023 issue of Communications of the ACM,
Walter Cazzolaand and Luca Favalli explore the intracacies of language in
programming. For users to be able to speak their mind, programming languages
should be designed so that they do not get in the way of their thoughts. In
other words, programming languages should be designed to properly express
problems and solutions of a domain: Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are
programming languages that employ terms and concepts from a problem domain. DSLs
improve comprehensibility by limiting comprehensiveness, so domain experts can
both validate specifications written by others and express new ones themselves.

For Practitioners


MORE THAN JUST ALGORITHMS

Dramatic advances in the ability to gather, store, and process data have led to
the rapid growth of data science and its mushrooming impact on nearly all
aspects of the economy and society. Data science has also had a huge effect on
academic disciplines with new research agendas, new degrees, and organizational
entities. Recognizing the complexity and impact of the field, Alfred Spector,
Peter Norvig, Chris Wiggins, and Jeannette Wing have completed a new textbook on
data science, Data Science in Context: Foundations, Challenges, Opportunities,
published in October 2022.  With deep and diverse experience in both research
and practice, across academia, government, and industry, the authors present a
holistic view of what is needed to apply data science well.

For Practitioners


OS SCHEDULING

ACM Queue’s "Research for Practice" serves up expert-curated guides to the best
of computing research, and relates these breakthroughs to the challenges that
software engineers face every day. In this installment, "OS Scheduling," Kostis
Kaffes, incoming Assistant Professor at Columbia University and software
engineer at SystemsResearch@Google, offers his take on better scheduling
policies for modern computing systems focusing on a trio of papers. The first
paper challenges the putative tradeoff between low latency and high utilization.
The second enables the creation of arbitrary scheduling policies by factoring
apart the creation and manipulation of policy. And the final selection addresses
the choice of policy on an application-by-application basis.

ACM UPDATES CODE OF ETHICS

ACM recently updated its Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. The revised
Code of Ethics addresses the significant advances in computing technology since
the 1992 version, as well as the growing pervasiveness of computing in all
aspects of society. To promote the Code throughout the computing community, ACM
created a booklet, which includes the Code, case studies that illustrate how the
Code can be applied to situations that arise in everyday practice and
suggestions on how the Code can be used in educational settings and in companies
and organizations. Download a PDF of the ACM Code booklet.
