Introduction to the Evolution of AI
The journey of artificial intelligence (AI) has been marked by significant milestones, transformative technologies, and an ever-expanding horizon of possibilities. From its inception in the mid-20th century to its current state of rapid innovation, AI has evolved through distinct phases, each characterized by ...

Can we harness AI to empower every customer with their very own personal shopper, consultant and guide?
Does everything feel the same in the age of AI? Whether we talk about search results, articles and papers written by AI, chatbots, or image and video searches - many have rightly pointed out a feeling of sameness pervading everything that AI t...

Despite AI's wild-fire spread across sectors, AI governance and regulation is still in its nascent stages. This creates massive gaps in AI oversight and society's ability to determine two key things:
who benefits from this reality-altering technology, and
who is responsible for its outputs and outcomes.
What this means and how we can...

AI systems and applications are being unleashed across sectors without formalized accountability, impact assessment, or regulatory oversight of key ethical issues. As the authors of a 2024 Computer article point out, this makes voluntary standards and independent scrutiny all the more imperative.
The article, "Artificial Intelligence For the Ben...

From serving up an unexpectedly perfect song in your music app to charting the safest evacuation routes for residents trapped by wildfires, AI is having an increasingly pervasive and impactful role in human life.
In the United States, however, the massive amounts of power and data AI research and development currently requires limits this work t...

Does the promise of artificial intelligence outweigh its environmental impact? That is the subject of a recent paper published in the IT Professional journal by Nir Kshetri at the University of North Carolina at Greensborough, which scrutinizes the energy and water consumption AI and generative AI (GAI) models require along with the carbon emission...
The rapid emergence of generative AI has ushered in a new era of human-machine collaboration, with profound implications for various fields, including visualization. These powerful AI models have sparked speculation about the potential for augmenting or replacing traditional visualization approaches.
However, as Rahul C. Basole (Atlanta, GA, USA) ...
The vision of virtual reality has been the recreation of reality. However, in pursuing this vision, researchers and developers have largely prioritized visual fidelity over integrating other sensory modalities. Favoring a visual perception and, more recently, combining it with audio has led to the design of virtual worlds that look strikingly real ...

Machine learning (ML) via classical computing has long been used by industries and researchers to meet a nearly infinite variety of challenges. Quantum machine learning (QML), on the other hand, is relatively new and generally underutilized in both industry and research.
Given the recent advances in quantum computing, researchers attending the 202...

Quantum computing holds immense promise for revolutionizing many fields. However, unlocking this potential hinges on robust and efficient software development, a domain facing unique challenges unlike its classical counterpart.
This idea is explored in the conference proceeding, "Quantum Software Engineering Challenges from Developers' Perspective...

The field of quantum software engineering (QSE) is rapidly growing, fueled by the potential for quantum computers to solve problems beyond the reach of traditional computers. But building functional quantum software requires a solid foundation, just like any other software project. That's where requirements engineering (RE) comes in as the critical...

Although many universities and colleges have STEM faculty development programs, glaring deficiencies remain in achieving holistic faculty support. This is particularly true when it comes to supporting faculty in aligning their professional activities—such as teaching—with the pressure to sustain a compelling research trajectory that will advanc...

In higher education, faculty members' productivity often depends on doctoral students helping them with their research and teaching loads. However, in fields such as engineering and computer science—where well-paying jobs are plentiful for students with even an undergraduate degree alone—attracting doctoral students to a program can be challeng...

Stack Overflow (SO) is a pivotal online community where developers gather to learn and share knowledge in a question-and-answer format on a vast array of programming topics.
For their contributions, SO users receive reputation points. This fact raised a question in the minds of five Canadian researchers: Are SO reputation points an accurate measur...

In higher education, career support for faculty is often assumed de facto via membership in a department or the larger institution. That assumption, however, often fails to materialize in the real world. This is particularly true for women and people of color in fields such as computing, where they often face obstacles to finding in-house support, ...

A team of researchers and programming professionals from universities in the USA, the U.K., Germany, Brazil, France, the Netherlands, and Canada are bringing the classic programming language Fortran into the 21st century. Their research not only digs into the strengths and limitations of Fortran but also focuses on making the language a more popu...

Given budget cuts, enrollment declines, and technology's ongoing impact on learning, universities are increasingly pressured to ensure that their students thrive both on campus and in the world beyond it.
To address this, computer science faculty at the Rochester Institute of Technology formed a Growth-Mindset Faculty Community of Practice (GM-CoP...

For many college students, anxiety typically centers on exams, GPAs, and career paths post-graduation. However, new research reveals an unexpected stressor for this demographic: emotional distress over the current climate crisis. For students pursuing a degree in software engineering, this anxiety over the state of the environment may go unnotice...
