- What to Look Out for When Acquiring AI Systems May 15, 2025For more than three years, an IEEE Standards Association working group has been refining a draft standard for procuring artificial intelligence and automated decision systems, IEEE 3119-2025. It is intended to help procurement teams identify and manage risks in high-risk domains. Such systems are used by government entities involved in education, health, employment, and many […]Gisele Waters
- New AI Model Advances the “Kissing Problem” and More May 14, 2025There’s a mathematical concept called the kissing number. Somewhat disappointingly, it’s got nothing to do with actual kissing. It enumerates how many spheres can touch (or “kiss”) a single sphere of equal size without crossing it. In one dimension, the kissing number is 2. In two dimensions, it’s 6 (think The New York Times’ spelling […]Dina Genkina
- Teething Babies and Rainy Days Once Cut Calls Short May 14, 2025Humans are messy. We spill drinks, smudge screens, and bring our electronic devices into countless sticky situations. As anyone who has accidentally dropped their phone into a toilet or pool knows, moisture poses a particular problem. And it’s not a new one: From early telephones to modern cellphones, everyday liquids have frequently conflicted with devices […]Rachel Plotnick
- Overcoming Tech Workforce Shortages With IEEE Microcredentials May 13, 2025By 2030, there will be a global shortage of 85 million workers, many of them in technical fields, according to the World Economic Forum. Many industries that need to employ technical workers will be impacted by the shortage, which is projected to cost them up to US $8.5 trillion in unrealized revenue. Many technical roles […]Jennifer Fong
