About us
ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, is the world's largest educational and scientific computing society, uniting educators, researchers and professionals to inspire dialogue, share resources and address the field's challenges. As a leading global source for scientific information, ACM promotes computer research and innovation through its journals, magazines, and the proceedings of more than 170 annual conferences and symposia. ACM authors are among the world's leading thinkers in computing and information technologies, providing original research and firsthand perspectives. Founded at the dawn of the computer age, ACM’s reach extends to every part of the globe, with more than half of its more than 100,000 members residing outside the U.S. Its growing membership has led to Councils in Europe, India, and China, fostering networking opportunities that strengthen ties within and across countries and technical communities. Their actions enhance ACM’s ability to raise awareness of computing’s important technical, educational, and social issues around the world.

Let’s remember Kristen Nygaard, who was born #OTD in 1926. He received the 2001 #ACMTuringAward with Ole-Johan Dahl, for ideas fundamental to the emergence of object oriented programming, through their design of the programming languages Simula I and Simula 67. Nygaard’s work laid the foundation for modern programming languages such as C++, Java, and C#. His pioneering concepts like classes, objects, and subclasses revolutionized software development. Beyond programming, he was a champion of participatory design, advocating for user involvement in IT system design. Nygaard's contributions extended to social and political spheres, reflecting his deep commitment to empowering individuals and communities. His impact on #computerscience persists today. https://bit.ly/3Y5qIfr

Delighted to read in this month’s ACM, Association for Computing Machinery the blog by Ranjeeta Bhattacharya SVP Senior Data Scientist at BNY Mellon. She discusses the application of GenAI in banking and finance and working the balance between innovation and reg compliance. Regulated industries have always of course sought to tread the fine line here – attempting to squeeze the greatest innovation from the most transparent possible areas of the AI black box so as to pass Independent Validation (IVU). However, compliance in this area now (since the AI boom era) is even harder to meet if you want to leverage this latest tech. How can we explain the decision making process of the AI model if the foundation of the GenAI decision making process is not playing the transparency game!? She poses “Issues such as algorithmic bias, fairness, and accountability come to the forefront when deploying AI systems that influence critical financial decisions”. I also particularly like that she brings in the very real threat of cyber attacks into her view. AI Models are software - just with greater influence and reach therefore risk. In an age of explicit [mis and dis]-information, handing the sceptre of power to an automated, easily scalable voice of potential distrust is one of the greatest risks we now face as 60% of the world is on (and therefore influenced by) social media. We do background checks on so components that could have influence from employees, to nanny’s, we make wholesome decision on our close friendship circles based on alignment of views and belief systems – yet the fake-human of AI on our doorstep is about to be handed the keys! Not only are the foundation models behind GenAI broadly accepted as biased, but if AI models are deployed to production without proper MLOps guardrails, AI-Security Posture Management and developed with mature Security Supply Chain management - then they (and therefore we) are at high risk of cyber attack. Ranjeeta addresses this (and we whole heartedly agree) there needs to be a focus on talent development to equip the workforce with the necessary skills to work effectively with GenAI technology. Skills such as AI Ethics, AI and Data Governance, proper understanding of the requirements of current and upcoming regulatory requirements including DORA, GDPR, Basel III and CCPA are all key. Kubrick Group have been investing in our Data Governance capabilities since 2017 to do exactly this, combined with our other practices of ML Engineers (since 2019), MLOps and recently focused AI Governance Engineers. We offer a holistic squad who can help organisation leverage the greatest revenue generating - and opportunity for productivity gains - we have witnessed for decades, sadly this also just so happens to coincide with the greatest technical threat landscape we have also ever experienced. Kubrick will help you tackle this ThreatOps conundrum with assurance. #AI #GenAI #AIGovernance #AICompliance #ThreatOps #AISPM

Today we started ACM KDD in Barcelona, the top research conference on data mining and AI, that I am co-chairing with Francesco Bonchi. We have three keynotes by Tanya Berger-Wolf, Sanjeev Arora and Xihong Lin, one panel on Generative AI that I will moderate, a track of applied data science invited talks, hundreds of research and applied data science papers, plenty of workshops and tutorials, special days (one in Responsible AI that I co-organize with Nataly Buslón, PhD), amazing support from industry sponsors (thanks!), and many exhibitors. Thanks to ACM, Association for Computing Machinery, ACM SIGKDD & Annual KDD Conference's Executive Committee lead by Wei Wang, our event planner Executivevents, and the 2,200+ attendees that came from all over the world and make this conference possible!

I am a professional in Computer Science who wants to contribute to our country. I am also a passionate professor in Computer Science who aims to inspire the new generation of professionals worldwide.
Last week at CLEI in Argentine, I was honored to be nominated by ACM, Association for Computing Machinery 's President Yannis Ioannidis as a Distinguished Speaker. This recognition stems from my development of the Automatic Computing Curricula Generator. This innovative tool significantly streamlines the curriculum creation process, reducing the time required from years to a mere ten minutes. Karin B..

Check out our latest issue of #ACMByteCast, featuring Xavier Leroy, recipient of the ACM Software System Award, lead developer of the OCaml programming language.
It's my pleasure to announce the latest issue of #ByteCast, the podcast series hosted by the Practitioner Board of the ACM, Association for Computing Machinery. This time, we're featuring Xavier Leroy of #OCaml fame, and it's the first time I was asking the questions. Which was an exciting experience that I hope to repeat sooner rather than later! Thanks to Xavier, to the ACM staff for their help (notably Yan Timanovsky), and QAware GmbH for supporting my ACM activities! See https://lnkd.in/dkRa-SHF for the interview.
In this episode of ACM ByteCast, Harald Störrle hosts ACM Fellow and Software System Award recipient Xavier Leroy, professor at Collège de France and member of the Académie des Sciences.
