This year marks ACM’s 75th anniversary. To celebrate this milestone, ACM has organized a special one-day conference this June. ACM’s 75th Anniversary Celebration will truly be a memorable day of panels featuring world-leading scholars on topics central to the future of computing. Panelists will imagine what might be next for technology and society in the years to come.

Moderator: Jitendra Malik
Panelists: Rodney Brooks, Fei-Fei Li, Daphne Koller, and Raquel Urtasun
Incentives and Markets – We consider the intentional and unintentional incentives implicit in computing platforms and AI. What can we as computer scientists do to address these technically, and what must be addressed normatively or with regulation?

Global Impact – How are computer scientists addressing some of the world’s most urgent challenges, from medicine and life sciences to climate change and human trafficking?
