If you’ve published a book on the history of computing (broadly construed) in the past 3 years, consider nominating it for the Computer History Museum Prize. If you know someone else who has, please pass this along!
Please join us for the first SIGCAS Works in Progress event of 2024 where Dr. Chiara Gallese will be giving a talk about Social Bias in AI systems! The talk be on March 13th at 12pm Eastern. Registration is required for the event where you can register here: https://forms.gle/D3dgw11HAuASj19n6
There will be a QA session after the talk and information on how to connect via Zoom will be sent approximately 24 hours prior to the event.
I agree with this computer scientist's assessment that #AI is a myth. I'd even go further than that and suggest that AGI is just a buzzword and that it'd probably never happen. I also don't think machines would ever become "alive", even if you teach them how to reproduce. You still cannot teach them how to adapt, as that would probably require infinite lines of code. Or maybe I'm just wrong.
Is there a text based resource that #Amiga geeks could point me to about the history of the Amiga and why I should learn about it today? I never owned one but the love is still strong in the Amiga community and I'd love to learn why. #Retro#computing#commodore
As Use of A.I. Soars, So Does the Energy and Water It Requires
Generative artificial intelligence uses massive amounts of energy for computation and data storage and billions of gallons of water to cool the equipment at data centers. Now, legislators and regulators — in the U.S. and the EU — are starting to demand accountability.
His keynote will focus on "Intelligent Interfaces", where he explores new forms of #interaction enabled by #sensing technologies such as sound, light, electric fields, radio waves and #BioSignals.
