Amazon to invest 50bn in AI for US government customers

Al Jazeera

Amazon is set to invest up to $50bn to expand artificial intelligence (AI) and supercomputing capacity for United States government customers, in one of the largest cloud infrastructure commitments targeted at the public sector. The e-commerce giant announced the investment on Monday. One gigawatt of computing power is roughly enough to power about 750,000 US households on average. "This investment removes the technology barriers that have held the government back", Amazon Web Services (AWS) CEO Matt Garman said. AWS is already a major cloud provider to the US government, serving more than 11,000 government agencies.

Voyager 1 is almost one light-day from Earth

Popular Science

The intrepid spacecraft will cross a major distance milestone in November 2026. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Voyager 1 is one of humanity's most poignant and remarkable technological achievements. Over the course of its nearly half century odyssey, the probe has glimpsed the gas giant Saturn, passed the threshold for interstellar space, and continually sets the bar for our furthest traveling human-made object. But based on NASA's projections, Voyager 1 is less than a year away from reaching yet another milestone.

Al Jazeera

What is in the 28-point US plan for Ukraine? Why is Europe opposing Trump's peace plan? Is the fall of Pokrovsk inevitable? 'A corruption scandal may well end the Ukraine war' Ukraine allies give cautious welcome to'modified' peace framework What we know about Ukraine's'revised peace plan' European allies of Ukraine have given a cautious welcome to efforts to refine a United States peace proposal initially criticised for appearing to be weighted in favour of Russia's maximalist demands. The leaders Germany, Finland, Poland and the United Kingdom were among those agreeing on Monday that progress had been made in the previous day's talks between Washington and Kyiv in Geneva that yielded what the US and Ukraine called a "refined peace framework".


Beyond Benchmarks: Responsible AI in Education Needs Learning Sciences

Communications of the ACM

Learning sciences emerged in the 1980s from roots in cognitive science and AI, as well as other social sciences such as linguistics and anthropology. LS distinctively investigates the process of learning, in contrast to research on teaching, instructional design, policies, and institutions. LS also focuses on research in authentic educational settings, which contrasts with psychology or brain science research conducted in a laboratory. Learning scientists use and develop a variety of methods and theories, leading to a large body of knowledge. The field also has blurry lines with neighboring fields such as AI in education.

Identity Theft in AI Conference Peer Review

Communications of the ACM

Academia heavily relies on trust. This trust-based system, however, creates a significant vulnerability: identity theft. In this Opinion column, we describe newly uncovered cases of identity theft within the scientific peer-review process within the research area of artificial intelligence (AI), involving modus operandi that could also disrupt other academic procedures. We begin by outlining the peer-review process, focusing on scientific conferences since they are the most prominent venues of publication in computer science. Peer review is foundational to scientific inquiry, relying on researchers to voluntarily apply their expertise in evaluating scientific papers.


From University Research to Global Impact

Communications of the ACM

Membership in ACM includes a subscription to Communications of the ACM (CACM), the computing industry's most trusted source for staying connected to the world of advanced computing. In an era defined by rapid technological advancement, particularly in fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), there is a growing discourse surrounding the pivotal role of academia and the impact of federal funding on innovation. The following conversation sheds light on an often-underdiscussed facet of this relationship: the profound influence of academic research on the formation and continued success of large technology companies such as Google. The participants include Magda Balazińska (MB) and three senior Google engineers--Urs Hölzle (UH), Jeff Dean (JD), and Parthasarathy Ranganathan (PR)--who collectively have more than a century of experience spanning both academia and industry, and between them represent different disciplines across the computing stack (distributed systems, AI, hardware). The discussion delves into the foundational role of academia in Google's inception, the long-term impact of federally funded research, the stories behind key innovations, and the grand challenges that lie ahead for academic research.
