Why is it so important to understand computers as socio-technical systems? 👩💻 Listen to computer scientist Noshir Contractor share his insights. Follow our special series "ACM President on the road" to celebrate #GlobalDiversityAwarenessMonth!

HBD, John E. Hopcroft! Hopcroft received the 1986 #ACMTuringAward with Robert E. Tarjan, for fundamental achievements in the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures. Watch Hopcroft explain how he was hired for his first academic job, at Princeton, without having

In an op-ed for @thehill, @UCBerkeley professor emeritus David Patterson @TheOfficialACM @LaudeInstitute makes a strong case for preserving federal research funding to ensure the U.S. retains leadership in technological innovation. 🔗 Read more: https://t.co/aqNwji0rZv

With several badges, @TheOfficialACM promotes #reproducibility. A special track of the recent @SIGIRConf by @ACMSIGIR had independent authors, driven by scientific curiosity, publishing reproducibility results of any past paper. True Science Integrity! https://t.co/qDUSFOgbyB

Today in 1991, @NASA astronauts Shannon Lucid and James C. Adamson aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-43) sent the first email from space using a Macintosh Portable and AppleLink. For more #ComputingHistory, click here: https://t.co/x5xrv52cJd #OTD

Check out my interview to @ComputerWeekly given after the panel on “Smart Technology, Fair Finance" and the role of #AI in #SustainableDevelopment, organized by @TheOfficialACM as a side-event of the @UN 4th Int'l Conf on Financing for Development #FfD4:

At #LINO25, 74th @lindaunobel (#Chemistry), I met @JohnJumperSci, 2024 #NobelPrize for AI-driven protein structure prediction in AlphaFold2, @francesarnold, other Nobel Laureates, and @TheOfficialACM #Turing Laureate @JackDongarra. #AI+#Computing+#Science leads to wonders!

Large audience watched @TheOfficialACM's panel on "Smart Technology, Fair Finance–The Promise and Risks of AI for Sustainable Development" at @UN #FFD4. Computing scientists, economists, and politicians exchanged innovative ideas on financing the road to #SDGs by using #ai4good.

Register to attend the panel organized by @TheOfficialACM as a side-event of the @UN 4th Conf on FfD. Panel premise: When developed and applied responsibly, AI can support inclusive sustainable economic systems and help reform the int'l financial architecture and SDG financing.

Last week, @TheOfficialACM Council reaffirmed its intention to open access to all ACM publications and related research artifacts in the ACM DL after 1-1-2026. ACM demonstrates its commitment to democratization of knowledge, transparency, and accountability. #OpenAccess #ACMOpen

Dame Wendy Hall, former ACM President, recently sat down with "We Are Tech Women." In the interview, she reflects on diversity in tech, breaking into the male-dominated AI sector, the key geopolitical forces shaping the future of cyberspace, and more.

We are thrilled to share the outstanding research contributions recognized at SAC'25: ACM/SIGAPP Symposium On Applied Computing. This year's selection highlights the cutting-edge advancements and innovative approaches in the field of Applied Computing. Congratulations to all the

#OTD in #ComputingHistory in 1822, Charles Babbage submitted a one-page paper outlining a revolutionary invention: the Difference Engine. The Difference Engine would become the world’s first mechanical computer.

Europe’s data centers and AI are bumping up against EU Climate Commitments. ACM’s EURTPC new roadmap calls for: 🔹 PUE ≤ 1.2 🔹 Waste heat reuse 🔹 Lifecycle CO₂ tracking 🔹 Transparent energy KPIs #DataCenters #ACM #DigitalEU https://t.co/Miz0Kn64Kk

Congratulations to #ACMFellow Brad A. Myers of @CarnegieMellon for receiving the 2025 CBI Human Computer Interaction History Prize! Myers was honored for his book, Pick, Click, Flick!: The Story of Interaction Techniques. Well-deserved recognition! https://t.co/HQycFzmrkz
