About Maribor ACM Student Chapter
Welcome to ACM Maribor student chapter. The chapter was established in 2015 by the PhD students from Computer Science Institute at Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Maribor. Our main goal is to share computer science knowledge between different generations of students, while also connecting internationally with other students and ACM chapters across the world.

Communications of the ACM: News
- The landscape for AI copyright and patent law looks a lot like the landscape for AI: confusing, chaotic, and changing at lightspeed.
- Demonstrations indicate that laser communications could deliver significantly higher bandwidth than RF, with reduced size, weight, and power requirements on satellites.
- Mixing and matching chiplets with different capabilities allows designers to optimize platforms for specific functions or use cases.
- Many public agencies already have tracking and communications technologies embedded in their emergency and transit vehicles.
- A firmware change to Bluetooth chip sets makes the unwelcome tracking of a device by stalkers, hackers, and others impractical.
- Most experts are reluctant to predict when a large-scale quantum computer will be commercialized.
- A “mugshot to mugshot” comparison of two images of a face is essentially a solved problem thanks to neural networks, experts say.
- More than half of surveyed organizations have a person who's in charge of AI or orchestrate related initiatives.
