AI Horizons: Shaping a Better Future Through Responsible Innovation and Human Collaboration

As we stand on the brink of a new era, this book offers a comprehensive exploration of AI's ethical, social, and technological implications. It explores privacy, fairness, accountability, and the digital divide. The book features real-world case studies across diverse industries to illustrate AI's transformative power and its potential to revolutionize healthcare, education, transportation, and more. Special attention is given to the adoption of AI in emerging markets and emphasizes the importance of human-AI collaboration, where AI augments human intelligence and creativity rather than replacing it.

Learning Resource

Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence

In this course, you'll learn to navigate and protect against AI-driven cyber threats. First, you’ll explore how AI is used in cybersecurity to detect and mitigate threats like phishing. Next, you’ll discover how criminals leverage AI for sophisticated phishing schemes and the creation of AI-generated fakes such as voice, images, and video. Finally, you’ll learn how to identify when AI isn’t what it seems and develop strategies to defend against AI-driven scams like BEC scams and extortion. This course equips you with practical insights to stay secure in an AI-enhanced digital world.

Learning Resource

AccelQ Sandbox Lab

In this sandbox, you have access to a live lab environment to practice with AccelQ. AccelQ is a cloud-based test automation platform that focuses on enabling continuous testing for Agile and DevOps environments. It is designed to simplify the process of automating web, API, and mobile testing without requiring significant coding skills. AccelQ provides a low-code or no-code framework, making it accessible for both developers and testers.

Learning Resource

Pen Testing Fundamentals with the Metasploit Framework

The courses in this path will walk you through the basics and introduction to Metasploit, to launching your first payload, to advanced scripts and attacks with Meterpreter. Metasploit is a framework constructed of modules that easily allow you to build attack vectors with exploits, payloads, encoders and more. Metasploit can assist throughout all phases of a penetration test; from reconnaissance and vulnerability scans to post exploitation with Meterpreter shells.

Discover ACM Selects - Shortlists of Learning Resources Curated by Experts

ACM Selects are themed shortlists curated by subject matter experts for both serious and emerging computing professionals, with the goal of providing new ways to discover relevant resources. Please visit our archive of Selects on a variety of subjects which is available here.

ACM Case Studies

Written by leading domain experts for software engineers, ACM Case Studies provide an in-depth look at how software teams overcome specific challenges by implementing new technologies, adopting new practices, or a combination of both. Often through first-hand accounts, these pieces explore what the challenges were, the tools and techniques that were used to combat them, and the solution that was achieved.

ACM Distinguished Speakers Program

The Distinguished Speakers Program (DSP) is one of ACM's most valued outreach programs, providing universities, corporations, event and conference planners, and local ACM chapters with direct access to top technology leaders and innovators from nearly every sector of the computing industry. ACM will cover the cost of transportation for the speaker to travel to your event.
