IEEE Computer Society AI Caravan: Bridging the knowledge gap from Region 8 to the global stage [IEEE Student Activities]
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) has created a gap between those who can develop AI solutions and those who only use technology. This gap is more than a challenge of access; it can prevent communities and regions from benefiting from the opportunities created by AI. In 2025, the IEEE Computer Society (CS) Member and Geographic Activities Board launched the IEEE … [Read more...] about IEEE Computer Society AI Caravan: Bridging the knowledge gap from Region 8 to the global stage [IEEE Student Activities]
Authenticity, creativity, and art in the age of artificial intelligence [Student Editorial]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer the future; it is the present. The 2020s are definitely the era of AI. Although the concept has existed since the 1950s, recent years have seen a boom driven by various factors, including the evolution of technologies that enable the improvement of “intelligences.” Intelligence refers to the ability to understand, reason, and learn from … [Read more...] about Authenticity, creativity, and art in the age of artificial intelligence [Student Editorial]
Outlook of artificial intelligence evolution [Editorial]
Today, no aspect of our lives or jobs has not been impacted by artificial intelligence (AI). The year 2023 will perhaps go down as the year of ChatGPT. Generative AI models, led by ChatGPT and including Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, Llama, and Claude, which use large language models (LLMs), have become ubiquitous across all aspects of human endeavor. Disruptions due to AI … [Read more...] about Outlook of artificial intelligence evolution [Editorial]
Deepfakes and large language models: Risks, defenses, and the future of generative artificial intelligence [Outlook of AI Evolution]
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly changing how digital content is created and consumed. Two widely used GenAI technologies are deepfakes and large language models (LLMs). Deepfakes generate or modify images, videos, audio, and text that imitate real people, while LLMs provide robust language understanding, reasoning, and multimodal coordination. When … [Read more...] about Deepfakes and large language models: Risks, defenses, and the future of generative artificial intelligence [Outlook of AI Evolution]
