Closing the ‘Trust Gap’ in Contact Tracing/Exposure Notification Technology
The digitization of contact tracing presents an array of challenges.
Can Research Universities Become Exponential?
We argue that exponential research and exponential teaching may exert mutual influence and foster each other, creating together the exponential research university.
We Need to Talk About Linguistic Diversity in AI
More than 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, but speech- and text-based services that use artificial intelligence are dominated by a handful.
Artificial intelligence software can create a video montage from a few typed words.
3 Proposals to Change How We Teach Computing In Order to Reduce Inequality
Computer Science education is inequitable. The least-prepared students are going to be hurt the most in online teaching. We have to make change now.
On the Internet of Medical Things
It is entirely feasible to imagine the Internet of Medical Things with a significant capacity for remote medical diagnosis and triage.
