In Black Box Algorithms We Trust (or Do We?)
Some issues that arise from the use of algorithms may be due to the data they are fed, rather than their black-box nature.

Computing History Beyond the U.K. and U.S.: Selected Landmarks from Continental Europe
It is past time to acknowledge 400 years of European computational innovation from non-English-speaking scientists and engineers.
To help celebrate 50 years of the ACM Turing Award and the visionaries who have received it, ACM has launched a campaign called "Panels in Print," which takes the form of a collection of responses from Turing laureates, ACM award recipients, and other ACM experts on a given topic or trend.
Smart Machines Are Not a Threat to Humanity
Worrying about machines that are too smart distracts us from the real and present threat from machines that are too dumb.
Arguing against the arguments for the concept of the singularity.
How AI Is Changing Software Development
Artificial intelligence technologies like advanced machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing will help build better software faster.
Exponential Laws of Computing Growth
Moore's Law is one small component in an exponentially growing planetary computing ecosystem.
Eulerian Video Magnification and Analysis
We present Eulerian Video Magnification, a computational technique for visualizing subtle color and motion variations in ordinary videos by making the variations larger.
Technical Perspective: Magnifying Motions the Right Way
"Eulerian Video Magnification and Analysis" demonstrates that phase differences at a given frequency band, due to subtle motions in a video, can be independently amplified and added back into the original signal.
Mapping the Internet of Things
Researchers are discovering surprising new risks across the fast-growing IoT.
Artificial Intelligence: Think Again
Social and cultural conventions are an often-neglected aspect of intelligent-machine development.
Who Decides the Future of Work?
The beginning of “a broad conversation” on whether technology should drive society, or should people make decisions about how technology supplements (or supplants) employment?
AI Contest Aims to Build the Communications Network of the Future
Participants in the Spectrum Collaboration Challenge can win millions of dollars for developing a radio frequency spectrum allocation system powered by artificial intelligence.
Technical Perspective: 3D Image Editing Made Easy
The authors of "Extracting 3D Objects from Photographs Using 3-Sweep" present an important step toward achieving 3D editing.
Extracting 3D Objects from Photographs Using 3-Sweep
We introduce an interactive technique to extract and manipulate simple 3D shapes in a single photograph.
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.
