Resume:

1.- ACM is the oldest and largest global computing society for professionals, with members in 190 countries.

2.- ACM serves researchers through academic conferences and publications covering the entire spectrum of computing.

3.- ACM provides professional resources and development materials to keep practitioners in industry up to date.

4.- ACM has policy efforts in the US and Europe, providing nonpartisan information to policymakers on technology issues.

5.- ACM develops educational curricula on various computing topics that are used worldwide.

6.- ACM provides a network for computing professionals to help each other and the world.

7.- The ACM A.M. Turing Award, named after Alan Turing, is ACM's most prestigious award given for over 50 years.

8.- The 2019 Turing Award winners were Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio and Yann LeCun for their work on deep learning and neural networks.

9.- Their work transformed AI by looking at how the human brain works rather than symbolic logic approaches.

10.- Advances in computing power in the last decade enabled the success of neural networks after the initial research in the 1980s.

11.- Neural networks have greatly improved performance in areas like speech recognition that are used every day.

12.- The interviewee's accessibility background makes her view machines and AI as augmenting human abilities.

13.- Ada Lovelace, credited with the first software programs, believed computers would augment human abilities.

14.- ACM has major debates around the ethics of computing, such as privacy concerns with the amount of data available.

15.- In 2019, ACM released a code of ethics for computing professionals to consider the ethical implications of their work.

16.- The code provides a series of questions to ask rather than a list of specific rules to follow.

17.- ACM sponsored the AI for Good Global Summit because it aligns with ACM's mission.

18.- The ACM board wanted to get more involved as many members are interested in the summit's goals.

19.- ACM aimed to learn about the summit's activities to determine how to get members involved.
