The IEEE Computer Society's Central Indiana Chapter has started a Tech Talk Series, a monthly live webinar program linking IEEE members, students, and engineering professionals across Region 4 with practitioners from companies including Apple, Tavant, and Zscaler. Topics so far have included AI governance, security, and agentic systems, with sessions available through the IEEE Region 4 virtual events calendar.
The IEEE Computer Society announced recipients of its 2026-2027 Emerging Technology Grants Program on October 30, 2026. The selected recipients will run targeted programs covering pressing topics in computer science and engineering, including artificial intelligence.
An IEEE Computer Society post argues that the common assumption underlying autonomous security response—that defensive actions like isolating hosts, revoking credentials, or quarantining workloads carry essentially zero cost—is flawed. It contends that as organizations deploy machine-speed automated defenses to counter machine-speed attacks, those same defensive mechanisms can themselves become a new attack surface.
A commentary published by the IEEE Computer Society argues that as AI agents move from demos into production across cloud platforms, workflow tools, and business applications, they are increasingly able to retrieve customer data, call internal APIs, modify transactions, and delegate tasks to other agents. The piece makes the case that enterprises need a dedicated 'control plane' to govern and oversee this growing autonomy.
The IEEE Computer Society, a co-sponsor of the CVPR conference, released a report examining whether GPU access and development time influenced which papers were accepted to CVPR 2026. The study was produced by the CVPR 2026 organizing team to look at resource disparities among authors submitting research.
The IEEE Computer Society is organizing a virtual roundtable bringing together senior leaders from major technology companies to discuss AI adoption at scale. The moderated discussion will focus on moving AI initiatives from experimentation to enterprise-wide deployment, with an emphasis on responsible implementation.
For IEEE Day, the IEEE Computer Society's San Antonio chapter under IEEE Region 5 hosted a session led by Jess J. Montgomery titled 'Beyond the Framework: Operationalizing AI Governance Where Failure Matters.' The discussion centered on managing operational risk as AI systems move from experimental use into mission-critical deployments.
The IEEE Computer Society is calling for qualified experts to apply for editor in chief positions across several of its publications. Terms for the new EICs will run from 1 January 2028 through 31 December 2029, with eligibility for a two-year reappointment afterward.
The IEEE Computer Society's Columbia Section Chapter (Region 3) held a technical session examining how AI in software development is moving beyond simple code-completion tools. Speakers discussed the emergence of agentic AI systems capable of more autonomous roles in enterprise software engineering workflows.
IEEE Computer Society reports that agentic AI systems, which plan and execute multi-step tasks rather than just answering single requests, are now moving into real pilots and early production use across software engineering, operations, and business automation. These systems differ from traditional applications by taking autonomous actions over time, which is prompting operators to reconsider how cloud infrastructure and monitoring tools are built around them.
The IEEE Computer Society and the Association for Computing Machinery named Daniel Reed, PhD, as the recipient of the 2026 Ken Kennedy Award. Reed is a Presidential Professor in Computational Science (emeritus) at the University of Utah and previously served as Corporate Vice President of Technology Policy at Microsoft.
IEEE Computer Society published guidance proposing four gates that enterprise AI agents should pass before executing actions, not just generating answers. The framing uses an example of an agent summarizing a contract and posting an update, highlighting the gap between producing text and taking consequential action.
