The elusive cure for cancer, the eradication of car accidents, and a sustainable future free from fossil fuels these formidable challenges, once thought to be centuries away from resolution, might be here sooner than anticipated. The driving force behind this big change? Quantum computing.
The Biggest Discoveries in Computer Science in 2023 – Quanta Magazine
In 2023, artificial intelligence dominated popular culture showing up in everything from internet memes to Senate hearings. Large language models such as those behind ChatGPT fueled a lot of this excitement, even as researchers still struggled to pry open the black box that describes their inner workings. Image generation systems also routinely impressed and unsettled us with their artistic abilities, yet these were explicitly founded on concepts borrowed from physics
Artists Use Tech Weapons Against AI Copycats – Voice of America – VOA News
NEW YORK Artists under siege by artificial intelligence that studies their work and then replicates their styles, have teamed with university researchers to stymie such copycat activity. U.S. illustrator Paloma McClain went into defense mode after learning that several AI models had been trained using her art, with no credit or compensation sent her way
These computer science seniors defied tradition to win the first hackathon they ever entered – GeekWire
Members of the Seattle University hackathon team behind the project ResponseSight ML, which used historical traffic data to predict likely problem spots to strategically position emergency personnel. Clockwise from upper left: Benjamin Philipose, Willem Hueffed, Felix Pham, Cody Yee, Pierce Harriz, and Marc Brophy. Once a staple of the startup world, the in-person hackathon was one of the collective habits that fell out of favor during the pandemic so much so that a group of six Seattle University computer science students made it nearly to the middle of their senior years without competing in one.
Computing staff and faculty dispute cash-strapped public education and employment – Daily Californian
After attempts to increase staffing in UC Berkeley computing courses failed last semester, course staffers continue to report overwork and a diminished educational experience for their students. In an effort to shoulder heightened instructional labor costs, associate teaching professor John DeNeros experiment with new staffing models in CS 61A which reduced reliance on undergraduate workers labor has been met with both criticism and applause
